LOVE SONG by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: I WOULD THE SONGS I'M SINGING
Last Line: ALL IN A SOUP-TUREEN!
Subject(s): LOVE;

IWOULD the songs I'm singing
Had little flow'rets been;
I'd send them to my sweetheart
For her to smell, I ween.

I would the songs I'm singing
Were kisses all unseen;
I'd send them all in secret
Upon her cheeks to glean.

I would the songs I'm singing
Were little peas so green;
'd make some capital pea-soup
All in a soup-tureen!
