NEW SPRING: 10 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: THE WARM AND BALMY SPRING-NIGHT'S AIR
Last Line: OF THE LILY I OUGHT TO BEWARE ME.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; LILIES;
THE warm and balmy spring-night's air
Hath waken'd every flower,
And take I not the greatest care,
My heart must succumb to love's power.

But which of all the flowery throng
Is likely most to snare me?
The nightingales say, in their blissful song.
Of the lily I ought to beware me.
