DIE HEIMKEHR: 3 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: TELL ME WHERE THY LOVELY LOVE IS
Last Line: TIS MY TRUE LOVE'S SEPULCHRE.

Tell me where thy lovely love is,
Whom thou once did sing so sweetly,
When the fairy flames enshrouded
Thee, and held thy heart completely.

All the flames are dead and sped now
And my heart is cold and sere;
Behold this book, the urn of ashes,
'Tis my true love's sepulchre.
