European Elegies/Spring/Heart, my heart
60.HEART, MY HEART
Heart, my heart, be not o'ershaken!Bravely bear thy bitter fate!—Suns of April surely waitTo restore what winter's taken!
And how much survives thy sorrow!See how fair the world is yet!Heart, my heart, fail not to setLove's last hopes to meet the morrow!
From the German of Heinrich Heine.
