Additional quotes by Heinrich Heine

Du hast Diamanten und Perlen,
Hast alles, was Menschenbegehr,
Und hast die schönsten Augen –
Mein Liebchen, was willst du mehr?

Auf deine schönen Augen
Hab’ ich ein ganzes Heer
Von ewigen Liedern gedichtet –
Mein Liebchen, was willst du mehr?

Mit deinen schönen Augen
Hast du mich gequält so sehr,
Und hast mich zu Grunde gerichtet –
Mein Liebchen, was willst du mehr?
