NEW SPRING: 39 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: ONCE MORE FROM THAT FOND HEART I'M DRIVEN
Last Line: MY HEART FOR THEE WILL STILL BE SIGHING.
Subject(s): LOVE;

ONCE more from that fond heart I'm driven
Which I so dearly love, so madly;
Once more from that fond heart I'm driven --
Beside it would I linger gladly,

The chariot rolls, the bridge is quaking,
The stream beneath it flows so sadly;
Once more the joys am I forsaking
Of that fond heart I love so madly.

In heav'n rush on the starry legions,
As though before my sorrow flying --
Sweet one, farewell! in distant regions
My heart for thee will still be sighing.
