Translations. - Lyrisches Intermezzo. Xli. (From Heine.)

Topics: classic

I dreamt of the daughter of a king,      With white cheeks tear-bewetted;     We sat 'neath the lime tree's leavy ring,      In love's embraces netted.     "I would not have thy father's throne,      His crown or his golden sceptre;     I want my lovely princess alone--      From Fate that so long hath kept her."     "That cannot be," she said to me:      "I lie in the grave uncheerly;     And only at night I come to thee,      Because I love thee so dearly."
