Excerpt from Selections From Heine's Poems: Edited, With Notes

Ever question his absolute sincerity. But despite all half indignant doubts, his lyrics still beguile the unwary heart, and his airy mockery charms and entertains. Nor can we refuse to recognize in his political stanzas the voice of a lover of his country, uplifted in behalf of greater civil as well as greater intellectual liberty.

About the Author:

Heine (1797-1856) was a journalist, essayist, and one of the most significant German Romantic poets. He is remembered chiefly for his lyric poems, many of which were set to music in the form of lieder (art songs) by Germanic composers, including Schubert, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Hugo Wolf, Richard Strauss, and Richard Wagner.
