| - | |
| Constant for one single hour | B |
| But e'en now the humid West | A |
| - | |
| Scatters many a vernal shower | B |
| Should the verdure give me joy | C |
| - | |
| 'Tis to it I owe the shade | D |
| Soon will storms its bloom destroy | C |
| - | |
| Soon will Autumn bid it fade | D |
| - | |
| Eagerly thy portion seize | E |
| - | |
| If thou wouldst possess the fruit | F |
| Fast begin to ripen these | E |
| - | |
| And the rest already shoot | F |
| With each heavy storm of rain | G |
| - | |
| Change comes o'er thy valley fair | H |
| Once alas but not again | I |
| - | |
| Can the same stream hold thee e'er | B |
| - | |
| And thyself what erst at least | J |
| - | |
| Firm as rocks appear'd to rise | K |
| Walls and palaces thou seest | J |
| - | |
| But with ever changing eyes | K |
| Fled for ever now the lip | L |
| - | |
| That with kisses used to glow | M |
| And the foot that used to skip | L |
| - | |
| O'er the mountain like the roe | M |
| - | |
| And the hand so true and warm | N |
| - | |
| Ever raised in charity | J |
| And the cunning fashion'd form | N |
| - | |
| All are now changed utterly | J |
| And what used to bear thy name | O |
| - | |
| When upon yon spot it stood | J |
| Like a rolling billow came | O |
| - | |
| Hast'ning on to join the flood | J |
| - | |
| Be then the beginning found | J |
| - | |
| With the end in unison | P |
| Swifter than the forms around | J |
| - | |
| Are themselves now fleeting on | Q |
| Thank the merit in thy breast | J |
| - | |
| Thank the mould within thy heart | J |
| That the Muses' favour blest | J |
| Ne'er will perish ne'er depart | J |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
