The Sea Hath Its Pearls by Margetson, William H.
The Sea Hath Its Pearls
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 and stars
Flashes and beams my love.
Thou little, youthful maiden,
Come unto my great heart;
My heart, and the sea, and the heaven
Are melting away with love!
Translated from German
by
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A great-great grandson of Longfellow helped put up a cell phone tower on our property a few years ago, so I asked him to autograph my other Longfellow books.
One book, "Evangeline," was from an old one-room school house. When I finished it, I gave it as a gift to my friends in Nova Scotia where the story line is based. Seeing a statue of "Evangeline" there near the sea was a great fun for me...to actually see where these Acadians once really lived.
from The Rock of Rubies, and the Quarrie of Pearls.
By
Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
Then spoke I to my girl
To part her lips,
And showed them there
The quarelets of pearl.
