To Edom! Poem by Heinrich Heine

To Edom!

Rating: 3.5


WITH each other, brother fashion,
Have we borne this many an age.
Thou hast borne with my existence,
And I borne have with thy rage.

Many a time, in days of darkness,
Wonder-strange hath been thy mood,
And thy dear and pious talons
Hast thou reddened in my blood.

Now our friendship groweth closer;
Nay, it waxeth daily now:
I myself begin to bluster
And am nigh as mad as thou.

'WITH each other, brother fashion, Have we borne this many an age.' a catty theme of another axe to grind
