LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 68 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: WHERESOE'ER I GO, THERE DARKLES
Last Line: NIGHT PRIMEVAL, TAKE THY CHILD!
Subject(s): LOVE; NIGHT; STARS; BEDTIME;

WHERESOE'ER I go, there darkles
Round me gloom and utter night,
Now that there no longer sparkles
On me, love, thine eyes' sweet light.

Quench'd are all the golden blisses
That love's star upon me smil'd;
'Neath my feet the dread abyss is, --
Night primeval, take thy child!
