Love
New Spring, 24
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From New Spring
Love
The hearts of us two, my loved one,
A Holy Alliance have made;
They well understood each other,
When close together laid.
Alas! the rose so youthful
That decks thy gentle breast,
Our poor ally and associate,
To death was wellnigh press’d.
