MY SONGS ARE POISONED by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: MY SONGS, THEY SAY, ARE POISONED
Last Line: AND, LOVE, AMONG THEM—THEE!
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE;
MY songs, they say, are poisoned.
How else, love, could it be?
Thou hast, with deadly magic,
Poured poison into me.

My songs, they say, are poisoned.
How else, then could it be?
I carry a thousand serpents
And, love, among them—thee!
