E'En As A Lovely Flower Poem by Heinrich Heine

E'En As A Lovely Flower

Rating: 2.7


E'en as a lovely flower,
So fair, so pure thou art;
I gaze on thee, and sadness
Comes stealing o'er my heart.

My hands I fain had folded
Upon thy soft brown hair,
Praying that God may keep thee
So lovely, pure and fair.

sadly both the flower and fair maiden must fade, it is the sun that wilts and the onslaught of age, both flower and fair maiden, in death must leave the stage
