Express yourself.....

Heinrich Heine

They loved each other with love so deep,
She was a tramp and he was a thief.
While he was plying his naughty craft,
She just lay on the bed and laughed.

The days went by in pleasure and joy,
At night in the sheets she hugged her boy.
When they dragged him off to jail at last,
She just stood at the window and laughed.

He wrote to her saying: ‘O come to me,
I long for you, so badly, you see,
I’m weeping: I’m fading fast
She shook her sweet head and laughed.

At six in the morning they hung him high,
At seven they buried him under the sky,
But as eight o’clock went past,
She drank red wine and laughed.
