Ich Glaub Nicht An Den Himmel Poem by Heinrich Heine

Ich Glaub Nicht An Den Himmel

Rating: 2.5


I don’t believe in Heaven,
Whose peace the preacher cites:
I only trust your eyes now,
They’re my heavenly lights.
I don’t believe in God above,
Who gets the preacher’s nod:
I only trust your heart now,
And have no other god.
I don’t believe in Devils,
In hell or hell’s black art:
I only trust your eyes now,
And your devil’s heart.
