This volume is a selection of his poetry that includes some of my favorites such as The Loreley and the Seraphine poems. The editor, Frederic Ewen, includes a biographical essay that is a good introduction to the life and work of this great poet.



She combs her golden hair

With a comb of gold she combs it,
And sings an evensong;
The wonderful melody reaches
A boat, as it sails along.

- from The Loreley by Heine
