Excerpt from The Poems of Heine: Complete Translated Into the Original Metres With a Sketch of His Life A new edition of this work having been called for, owing to the first edition having been for some time out of the print, I have taken advantage of the opportunity to add translations of a remarkable collection of Poems by Heine, published for the first time since the appearance of my work in 1859. They consist of as many as twelve hundred lines, described partly as "Early Poems," which will be found at the beginning of the volume, and partly as "Posthumous Poems," which are placed at the end. The metres of the original have been again retained throughout. Various errors discovered by me in the first edition have now been corrected; and it only remains for me to express my thanks for the kind manner in which the critical and the general public, both in England and abroad, have received the work, and for the indulgence extended by them to its many imperfections.
