Translated from Heinrich Heine. by Leland. How

mon to the minds eye. Heine Is tbs Rembrandt OF
poets.
We sat by the fishers cottage,
And IOok'd at the stormy tide;
The evening mist came rising.
And floating far and wide.
One by one IN the light house.
The lights shune out on high,
And far on the dun horizon
A ship went sailing by.
We spoke of storm and shIpwreck.
of sailors and how they live;
OF journey twIxt sky and water,
And SorrOws ard joys they give.
We spoke of distant countries,
In regions strange and fair;
And of the wOndFous beings
And curious customs there.

And chatter and scream and bawl.
