Isn't this beautiful? I don't know all the symbols, but it's gorgeous.

Es Stehen Unbeweglich

The stars, for many ages,
Have dwelt in heaven above;
They gaze at one another
Tormented by their love.

They speak the richest language,
The loveliest ever heard;
Yet none of all the linguists
Can understand a word.

I learned it, though, in lessons
That nothing can erase;
The only text I needed
Was my beloved's face.

Heinrich Heine (translated by Aaron Kramer)
