LOVE SONG by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: REMEMBER'ST THOU THOSE FIERY GLANCES
Last Line: WITH WHICH THE BIRD IS LIMED AND CAUGHT!
Subject(s): LOVE;
REMEMBER'ST thou those fiery glances
In which his trust the novice plac'd?
That long-denied first kiss of passion
The ardent lover stole in haste?

O glances, ye experienced fish-hooks,
On which the fish is captive brought!
O kiss, thou charming rod of honey,
With which the bird is limed and caught!
