LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 32 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: THE LOVELY EYES OF VIOLET BLUE
Last Line: THE HEART ALONE IS COLD AS THE TOMB.
Subject(s): LOVE - UNREQUITED;

THE lovely eyes of violet blue,
The beauteous cheeks of rosy hue,
The hands so like white lilies too, --
All these still sweetly blossom and bloom,
The heart alone is cold as the tomb.
