LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 67 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: BENEATH THE CROSSWAY BURIED
Last Line: THE CULPRIT-FLOWER SO DEAR.
Subject(s): SUICIDE;
BENEATH the crossway buried,
The suicide lies here,
Where grows a charming blue flow'ret,
The culprit-flower so dear.

I stood by the crossway sighing,
The night was chilly and drear,
While slowly moved in the moonlight
The culprit-flower so dear.
