by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Herz, mein Herz, sei nicht beklommen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Herz, mein Herz, sei nicht beklommen, Und [ertrage]1 dein Geschick. Neuer Frühling [giebt]2 zurück, Was der Winter dir genommen. Und wie viel ist dir geblieben! Und wie schön ist noch die Welt! Und mein Herz, was dir gefällt, [Alles]3, alles darfst du lieben!
