ES STEHEN UNBEWEGLICH by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: FOR MANY THOUSAND AGES
Last Line: MY HEART'S OWN DARLING'S FACE.

For many thousand ages
The steadfast stars above
Have gazed upon each other
With ever mournful love.
They speak a certain language,
So beautiful, so grand,
Which none of the philologians
Could ever understand.
But I have learned it, learned it,
For ever, by the grace
Of studying one grammar,
My heart's own darling's face.
