Wie die Wellenschaumgeborene

Wie die Wellenschaumgeborene
Strahlt mein Lieb im Schönheitsglanz,
Denn sie ist das auserkorene
Bräutchen eines fremden Manns.

Herz, mein Herz, du vielgeduldiges,
Grolle nicht ob dem Verrat;
Trag es, trag es, und entschuldig es,
Was die holde Törin tat.

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Buch der Lieder, in Lyrisches Intermezzo, no. 17
