The Old Dream Comes Again To Me Poem by Heinrich Heine

The Old Dream Comes Again To Me

Rating: 4.3


The old dream comes again to me:
With May-night stars above,
We two sat under the linden-tree
And swore eternal love.

Again and again we plighted troth,
We chattered, and laughed, and kissed;
To make me well remember my oath
You gave me a bite on the wrist.

O darling with the eyes serene,
And with the teeth so white!
The vows were proper to the scene,
Superfluous was the bite.

'You gave me a bite on the wrist.' adds a whole new twist to bitten by love.

'To make me well remember my oath You gave me a bite on the wrist.' Interesting, bitten by love or she just wanted to keep a piece of him?
