Poems Selected from Heinrich Heine – by Kate Freiligrath Kroeker
From Morphine and Morpheus
Marked is the likeness 'twixt the beautiful
And youthful brothers, albeit one appears
Far paler than the other, more serene
Yea; I might also say, far comelier
Than his dear brother, who so lovingly
Embraced me in his arms. How tender, soft
Seemed then his smile, and how divine his glance
No wonder that the wreath of poppy flowers
About his head brought comfort to my brow
And with its mystic fragrance soothed all pain
From out of my soul
