Background
My adaptation without losing any of its symbolism
A description of the experience
Heinrich Heine - Gems
Two emeralds those dear eyes of yours
Soft as the green grass below you
Thrice happy is the woman to whom
Those dear eyes say ‘I love you’
A diamond is your heart, that gleams
With rays of purest fire
Thrice happy is the woman for whom
It glows with love’s desire
Two rubies are those lips of yours
Unrivalled in soft glory
Thrice happy is the woman to whom
They whisper their love story
Please say that I’m the lucky woman
That I’m the happy lover
That all the gems they burn for me
My happiness would be forever
