My Carling, We Sat Together

    By Heinrich Heine

    My darling, we sat together,
    We two, in our frail boat;
    The night was calm o'er the wide sea
    Whereon we were afloat.

    The Specter-Island, the lovely,
    Lay dim in the moon's mild glance;
    There sounded sweetest music,
    There waved the shadowy dance.

    It sounded sweeter and sweeter,
    It waved there to and fro;
    But we slid past forlornly
    Upon the great sea-flow.


    This guy was friends with Marx (Karl, not Groucho)

    EDIT: oh fuck, the topic title should obviously say My Darling, not My Carling
