NEW SPRING: 2 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: IN THE WOOD, THE VERDURE'S SHOOTING
Last Line: AND THY SONG OF LOVE IS ONLY!
Subject(s): LOVE; SPRING;

IN the wood, the verdure's shooting,
Joy-oppress'd, like some fair maiden;
Yet the sun laughs sweetly downward:
"Welcome, young spring, rapture-laden!"

Nightingale! I hear thee also,
Piping, blissful-sad and lonely,
Sobbing tones and long-protracted,
And thy song of love is only!
