NEW SPRING: 13 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: THE EYES OF SPRING, SO AZURE
Last Line: KNOWN TO THE WHOLE WOOD ARE.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; SPRING;
THE eyes of spring, so azure,
Are peeping from the ground;
They are the darling violets,
That I in nosegays bound.

I pluck them, thinking deeply,
And all the thoughts so dear,
That in my heart are sighing,
The nightingale sings clear.

Yes, all my thoughts she singeth
And warbleth, echoing far;
So that my tender secrets
Known to the whole wood are.
