Love
Lyrical Intermezzo, 67
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From Book of Songs: Lyrical Intermezzo
Love
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.
