Donna Clara - Heinrich Heine

In the evening-colored garden Wanders the Alcalde’s daughter; Trumpets’ and the drums’ rejoicings Rise and echo from the castle. “Oh, I weary of the dances, And the cloying, fatuous phrases Of the knights, who, bowing deeply, To the sun itself compare me. “Everything seems dull and tiresome Since by moonlight I beheld him, Him, my hero, whose sweet lute-strings Draw me nightly to my window. “How he stood; so slim and fiery, And his eyes were burning boldly From his pale and classic features— Looking truly like St. George did.” Thus mused lovely Donna Clara, Gazing at the ground beneath her; As she looked up—lo, the handsome Unknown knight stood there before her. Clasping hands with trembling passion, Now they wander in the moonlight; Now the flattering breeze is friendly; Great, enchanted roses greet them. Great, enchanted roses greet them, Redder than love’s flaming heralds . . . “Ah, but tell me, my beloved, Why these deep and sudden blushes.” “Gnats were stinging me, my dearest, And I hate these gnats in summer; Hate them, love, as though they might be Nasty Jews with long, hooked noses.” “Jews and gnats — let us forget them,” Says the knight, with soft persuasion . . . From the almond tree a thousand Flower-flakes of white are falling. Flower-flakes of white are falling, And their perfume spills about them— “Ah, but tell me, my beloved, Is your heart mine, and mine only?” “Yes, I love but you, my dearest, And I swear it by the Saviour Whom the Jews, God’s curse upon them, Did betray and foully murder.” “Jews and Saviour—let’s forget them,” Says the knight, with soft persuasion . . . Far-off in the dreamy distance Lilies gleam with light surrounded. Lilies gleam, with light surrounded, Gazing at the stars above them. — “Ah, but tell me, my beloved, Have you not perhaps sworn falsely?” “Nothing’s false in me, my dearest; Just as in my breast there courses Not a drop of blood that’s Moorish, Nor a taint of Jewish foulness.” “Jews and Moors—let us forget them,” Says the knight, with soft persuasion, And, into a grove of myrtle, Guides the fair Alcalde’s daughter. With Love’s soft and supple meshes He has secretly entrapped her. Short their words, but long their kisses; And their hearts are running over. Like a melting, poignant bride-song, Sings the nightingale, uplifted; Like a thousand torchlight dancers Leap the fireflies from the bushes. In the grove the stillness deepens. Nought is heard except the murmurs Of the wise and nodding myrtle And the breathing of the flowers. But the shock of drums and trumpets Breaks out wildly from the castle, And it wakes the lovely Clara From the arms of her beloved. “Hark ! they call to me, my dearest; But before we part, pray tell me What, my love, your own dear name is That you’ve hidden so long from me.” And the knight, with gentle laughter, Presses kisses on her fingers, On her lips and on her forehead; And at last he turns and answers: “I, Señora, your beloved, Am the son of the respected, Erudite and noble Rabbi Israel of Saragossa.”
