LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 45 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: ON HEARING THE STRAINS ENTHRALLING
Last Line: I QUENCH MY ANGUISH AND GRIEF.
Subject(s): GRIEF; LOVE; SINGING & SINGERS; TEARS; SORROW; SADNESS; SONGS;
ON hearing the strains enthralling
That my loved one sang to me erst,
With torments fierce and appalling
My heart is ready to burst.

Impell'd by a gloomy yearning
I seek in the forest relief,
And there in tears hotly burning
I quench my anguish and grief.
