Rhyme Scheme: A BA BC DC D E FE FG FG F F FF FH IH F F JF JF FF F K FK FL ML M F FF FF NF NCAN it be of stars the star | A |
- | |
Do I press thee to my heart | B |
In the night of distance far | A |
- | |
What deep gulf what bitter smart | B |
Yes 'tis thou indeed at last | C |
- | |
Of my joys the partner dear | D |
Mindful though of sorrows past | C |
- | |
I the present needs must fear | D |
- | |
When the still unfashion'd earth | E |
- | |
Lay on God's eternal breast | F |
He ordain'd its hour of birth | E |
- | |
With creative joy possess'd | F |
Then a heavy sigh arose | G |
- | |
When He spake the sentence quot Be quot | F |
And the All with mighty throes | G |
- | |
Burst into reality | F |
- | |
And when thus was born the light | F |
- | |
Darkness near it fear'd to stay | F |
And the elements with might | F |
- | |
Fled on every side away | F |
Each on some far distant trace | H |
- | |
Each with visions wild employ | I |
Numb in boundless realm of space | H |
- | |
Harmony and feeling void | F |
- | |
Dumb was all all still and dead | F |
- | |
For the first time God alone | J |
Then He form'd the morning red | F |
- | |
Which soon made its kindness known | J |
It unravelled from the waste | F |
- | |
Bright and glowing harmony | F |
And once more with love was grac'd | F |
- | |
What contended formerly | F |
- | |
And with earnest noble strife | K |
- | |
Each its own Peculiar sought | F |
Back to full unbounded life | K |
- | |
Sight and feeling soon were brought | F |
Wherefore if 'tis done explore | L |
- | |
How why give the manner name | M |
Allah need create no more | L |
- | |
We his world ourselves can frame | M |
- | |
So with morning pinions bright | F |
- | |
To thy mouth was I impell'd | F |
Stamped with thousand seals by night | F |
- | |
Star clear is the bond fast held | F |
Paragons on earth are we | F |
- | |
Both of grief and joy sublime | N |
And a second sentence quot Be quot | F |
- | |
Parts us not a second time | N |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
