They loved each other beyond belief—
She was a strumpet, he was a thief.


Neue Gedichte (1852) 'Ein Weib' (translated by Louis Untermeyer, 1938)


They loved each other beyond belief— She was a strumpet, he was a thief.

They loved each other beyond belief— She was a strumpet, he was a thief.

They loved each other beyond belief— She was a strumpet, he was a thief.

They loved each other beyond belief— She was a strumpet, he was a thief.
