Eugene Field - A Paraphrase Of HeineEugene Field - A Paraphrase Of Heine
Work rating: Low


(LYRIC INTERMEZZO) There fell a star from realms above--   A glittering, glorious star to see! Methought it was the star of love,   So sweetly it illumined me. And from the apple branches fell   Blossoms and leaves that time in June; The wanton breezes wooed them well   With soft caress and amorous tune. The white swan proudly sailed along   And vied her beauty with her note-- The river, jealous of her song,   Threw up its arms to clasp her throat. But now--oh, now the dream is past--   The blossoms and the leaves are dead, The swan`s sweet song is hushed at last,   And not a star burns overhead.
