LOVE SONG by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: OF PEACE, AND HAPPINESS, AND HEART
Last Line: O TAKE THESE BACK, MY LOVED ONE, NOW.
Subject(s): LOVE;
OF peace, and happiness, and heart,
Thou, loved one, long time hast bereft me;
And of the gifts that thou hast left me
Not one of these doth form a part.

For peace, heart, happiness, hast thou
To me a life-long sorrow given,
With bitter words commingled even, --
O take @3these@1 back, my loved one, now.
