LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 15 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: UPON MY MISTRESS'S EYES SO CLEAR
Last Line: I SOON WOULD WRITE A CHARMING SONNET.
Subject(s): LOVE - COMPLAINTS; POETRY & POETS;
UPON my mistress's eyes so clear
I write the fairest cantatas;
Upon my mistress's mouth sincere
I write the best of terzinas;
Upon my mistress's cheeks so dear
I write the cleverest stanzas;
And had my mistress a heart, upon it
I soon would write a charming sonnet.
