My darling, we sat together, <br />We two, in our frail boat; <br />The night was calm o'er the wide sea <br />Whereon we were afloat. <br /> <br />The Specter-Island, the lovely, <br />Lay dim in the moon's mild glance; <br />There sounded sweetest music, <br />There waved the shadowy dance. <br /> <br />It sounded sweeter and sweeter, <br />It waved there to and fro; <br />But we slid past forlornly <br />Upon the great sea-flow.<br /><br />Heinrich Heine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-darling-we-sat-together/
