Background
A description of the experience
Love troopers
Adapted from a poem by Heinrich Heine
Laid on your soft brown shoulder
My head it is still and at rest
And I listen – and know the aching
Desire within your sweet breast
My love troopers they have stormed it
And entered your heart like a knife
But tomorrow this woman must leave you
A woman who loves you as her life
But though I must leave in the evening
Tonight I am yours, you are mine
My head is at rest on your shoulder
And together our bodies entwine
