Love song--heine

Eugene Field 1850 (St. Louis) – 1895 (Chicago)



Many a beauteous flower doth spring
 From the tears that flood my eyes,
And the nightingale doth sing
 In the burthen of my sighs.

If, O child, thou lovest me,
 Take these flowerets fair and frail,
And my soul shall waft to thee
 Love songs of the nightingale.
