NEW SPRING: 24 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: THE HEARTS OF US TWO, MY LOVED ONE
Last Line: TO DEATH WAS WELLNIGH PRESS'D.
Subject(s): DEATH; LOVE; DEAD, THE;
THE hearts of us two, my loved one,
A Holy Alliance have made;
They well understood each other,
When close together laid.

Alas! the rose so youthful
That decks thy gentle breast,
Our poor ally and associate,
To death was wellnigh press'd.
