by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Eugene Field (1850 - 1895)
Many a beauteous flower doth spring
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Many a beauteous flower doth spring From the tears that flood my eyes, And the nightingale doth sing In the burthen of my sighs. If, O child, thou lovest me, Take these flowerets fair and frail, And my soul shall waft to thee Love songs of the nightingale.
