Friedrich Schiller Poems
- Resignation
Resignation

Unto the heavens knit thee, unto the axis of earth.
Howsoever thou attest, let heaven be moved by thy purpose,
Let the aim of thy deeds traverse the axis of earth!... - The Artifice

... - Hero And Leander. [34] A Ballad

Frown through the sunlight's liquid gold,
Steep sternly fronting steep?
The Hellespont beneath them swells, ... - Verses Written In The Album Of A Friend. (herr Von Mecheln Of Basle.)

And, like Nature, fair art is inexhaustible too.
Hail, thou honored old man! for both in thy heart thou preservest
Living sensations, and thus ne'er-ending youth is thy lot!...
