The sea hath its pearls, <br />The heaven hath its stars; <br />But my heart, my heart, <br />My heart hath its love. <br /> <br />Great are the sea and the heaven; <br />Yet greater is my heart, <br />And fairer than pearls and stars <br />Flashes and beams my love. <br /> <br />Thou little, youthful maiden, <br />Come unto my great heart; <br />My heart, and the sea, and the heaven <br />Are melting away with love!<br /><br />Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sea-hath-its-pearls-from-the-german-of-heinrich-heine/
