Auf Meiner Herzliebsten Äugelein

UPON my darlings beaming eyes

I plied my rhyming trade;

Upon my darling's cherry lips

An epigram I made;

My darling has a blooming cheek,

I penn'd a song upon it;

And if she had but had a heart,

Her heart had had a sonnet.

Heinrich Heine (tr. H.W. Longfellow)
