Love

New Spring, 6

by Heinrich Heine 1797–1856

Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From New Spring

Love

Softly through my spirit ring
Blissful tones loved dearly;
Sound, thou little song of spring,
Echoing far and clearly.

Sound, till thou the home com’st nigh
Of the violet tender;
And when thou a rose dost spy,
Say, my love I send her.
