Paraphrases on Heine.
II.

Straight it led me to her house,
I kist the stepping stone,
O'er which her little feet had tripped,
Her garments' trail oft gone.

III.

The night was long, the night was cold,
And very cold that stone,
A pale face from the lattice looked,
Lightened by silvery moon.
Alice.

XLVII.

I.

THOU art like a flower,
So lovely, pure, and true,
While I gaze, a sadness
Steals through my heart anew.

II.

O that this hand might lie
Once only on thy brow,
Praying God to keep thee
Lovely and pure as now.
