LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 28 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: I'VE NO BELIEF IN THE HEAVENS
Last Line: AND THINE EVIL HEART AS WELL.
Subject(s): EVIL; HEARTS; HELL;
I'VE no belief in the heavens
Of which the parsons rave;
In thine eyes believe I only,
In their heavenly light I lave.

I've no belief in the Maker
Of whom the parsons rave;
In thine heart believe I only,
No other God will I have.

I've no belief in the devil,
In hell or the pains of hell;
In thine eyes believe I only,
And thine evil heart as well.
