Der Tod, das ist
Free texts and images.
| Mein Kind, wir waren Kinder | Die Heimkehr ~ Der Tod, das ist written by Heinrich Heine, translated by A. S. Kline | Es war ein alter König |
Our death is in the cool of night,
Our life is in the pool of day.
The darkness glows, I’m drowning,
Day’s 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.
