Heinrich Heine
The sea hath its pearls,
The heaven hath its stars.
But my heart, my heart,
My heart hath its love.
Great are the sea, and the heaven,
Yet greater is my heart;
And fairer than pearls or stars
Flashes and beams my love.
Thou little, youngthful maiden,
Come unto my great heart;
My heart, and the sea and the heaven
Are melting away with love!
