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.
