LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 53 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: THERE LIES THE GLOW OF SUMMER
Last Line: THE SUMMER IN THY BREAST!
Subject(s): LOVE; SUMMER; WINTER;

THERE lies the glow of summer
Upon thy cheek confess'd,
And in thine heart cold winter
Has made its place of rest.

All this will soon be alter'd,
My dearest love and best,
The winter on thy cheek be,
The summer in thy breast!
