60.HEART, MY HEART

Heart, my heart, be not o'ershaken!
Bravely bear thy bitter fate!—
Suns of April surely wait
To restore what winter's taken!

And how much survives thy sorrow!
See how fair the world is yet!
Heart, my heart, fail not to set
Love's last hopes to meet the morrow!


From the German of Heinrich Heine.
