LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 56 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: MY SONGS WITH POISON ARE TAINTED
Last Line: AND THEE TOO, MY DEAREST LOVE, THEE.
Subject(s): HATE; HEARTS; LIFE; LOVE; SINGING & SINGERS; SONGS;

MY songs with poison are tainted,
But how could it otherwise be?
My blossoming life thou hast poison'd,
And made it hateful to me.

My songs with poison are tainted,
But how could it otherwise be?
In my heart many serpents I carry,
And thee too, my dearest love, thee.
