Poems Selected from Heinrich Heine – by Kate Freiligrath Kroeker
The lotus flower doth languish
Beneath the sun's fierce light
With drooping head she waiteth
All dreamily for night
The Moon is her true lover
She wakes her with her glance
To her she unveils gladly
Her gentle countenance
She blooms and glows and brightens
Intent of her above
Exhaling, weeping, trembling
With ever yearning love
