Death Poem by Heinrich Heine

Death

Rating: 3.8


Our death is in the cool of night,
our life is in the pool of day.
The darkness glows, I’m drowning,
the day has tired me with light.

Over my head in leaves grown deep,
sings the young nightingale.
It only sings of love there,
I hear it in my sleep.

A chronicle on life and death. A reflecton on the absurdity of life. Good blend of rhyme scheme. Sylva.
