HEINRICH HEINE - Repositories

36 i^eine.
That outpost is abandoned : while the
one
Lies in the dust, the rest in troops
depart;
Unconquered — I have done what could
be done,
With sword unbroken, and with
broken heart.
THE
MILITARY.
The day the blue Hussars rode off,
A-down the city street
And through the gate, I brought thee,

A knot of roses sweet.
Oh, that was a wild company!
The land had much to bear.
Why — even in thy little heart —
Some few had quarters there !
POTENTIAL
BOREDOM.
Dangerous Germans ! They suddenly
produce a poem from their pockets, or
begin a conversation on philosophy.
