The Gods of Greece, #VI, The poems of Heine; Complete Part II, , by Heinrich Heine, Translator: Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908)

The moon, too, hid herself
Behind the clouds that darkly came over her;
High up roarèd the sea,
And then triumphantly stood in the heavens
The stars all-eternal.
— Heinrich Heine
