"THE ROSE, THE LILY, THE SUN AND THE DOVE" (from the German of) Heinrich Heine p. 1823; transl. Webb ================================================== The rose, the lily, the sun and the dove, I loved them all once in the rapture of love. I love them no more, for my sole delight Is a maiden so slight, so bright and so white, Who, being herself the source of love, Is rose and lily and sun and dove. ======== ========
