The morn arrived his footstep quickly scared	A
	-
The gentle sleep that round my senses clung	B
And I awak'ning from my cottage fared	A
	-
And up the mountain side with light heart sprung	B
At every step I felt my gaze ensnared	A
	-
By new born flow'rs that full of dew drops hung	B
The youthful day awoke with ecstacy	C
And all things quicken'd were to quicken me	D
	-
And as I mounted from the valley rose	C
	-
A streaky mist that upward slowly spread	E
Then bent as though my form it would enclose	C
	-
Then as on pinions soar'd above my head	E
My gaze could now on no fair view repose	C
	-
in mournful veil conceal'd the world seem'd dead	E
The clouds soon closed around me as a tomb	F
And I was left alone in twilight gloom	F
	-
At once the sun his lustre seem'd to pour	G
	-
And through the mist was seen a radiant light	H
Here sank it gently to the ground once more	G
	-
There parted it and climb'd o'er wood and height	H
How did I yearn to greet him as of yore	G
	-
After the darkness waxing doubly bright	H
The airy conflict ofttimes was renew'd	I
Then blinded by a dazzling glow I stood	J
	-
Ere long an inward impulse prompted me	D
	-
A hasty glance with boldness round to throw	K
At first mine eyes had scarcely strength to see	D
	-
For all around appear'd to burn and glow	K
Then saw I on the clouds borne gracefully	D
	-
A godlike woman hov'ring to and fro	K
In life I ne'er had seen a form so fair	L
She gazed at me and still she hover'd there	L
	-
Dost thou not know me were the words she said	E
	-
In tones where love and faith were sweetly bound	M
Knowest thou not Her who oftentimes hath shed	E
	-
The purest balsam in each earthly wound	M
Thou knows't me well thy panting heart I led	E
	-
To join me in a bond with rapture crown'd	M
Did I not see thee when a stripling yearning	N
To welcome me with tears heartfelt and burning	N
	-
Yes I exclaim'd whilst overcome with joy	O
	-
I sank to earth I long have worshipp'd thee	D
Thou gav'st me rest when passions rack'd the boy	O
	-
Pervading ev'ry limb unceasingly	D
Thy heav'nly pinions thou didst then employ	D
	-
The scorching sunbeams to ward off from me	D
From thee alone Earth's fairest gifts I gain'd	P
Through thee alone true bliss can be obtain'd	P
	-
Thy name I know not yet I hear thee nam'd	Q
	-
By many a one who boasts thee as his own	R
Each eye believes that tow'rd thy form 'tis aim'd	Q
	-
Yet to most eyes thy rays are anguish sown	R
Ah whilst I err'd full many a friend I claim'd	Q
	-
Now that I know thee I am left alone	R
With but myself can I my rapture share	L
I needs must veil and hide thy radiance fair	L
	-
She smiled and answering said Thou see'st how wise	C
	-
How prudent 'twas but little to unveil	D
Scarce from the clumsiest cheat are clear'd thine eyes	C
	-
Scarce hast thou strength thy childish bars to scale	D
When thou dost rank thee 'mongst the deities	C
	-
And so man's duties to perform would'st fail	D
How dost thou differ from all other men	S
Live with the world in peace and know thee then	S
	-
Oh pardon me I cried I meant it well	D
	-
Not vainly did'st thou bless mine eyes with light	H
For in my blood glad aspirations swell	D
	-
The value of thy gifts I know aright	H
Those treasures in my breast for others dwell	D
	-
The buried pound no more I'll hide from sight	H
Why did I seek the road so anxiously	D
If hidden from my brethren 'twere to be	D
	-
And as I answer'd tow'rd me turn'd her face	C
	-
With kindly sympathy that god like one	T
Within her eye full plainly could I trace	C
	-
What I had fail'd in and what rightly done	T
She smiled and cured me with that smile's sweet grace	C
	-
To new born joys my spirit soar'd anon	T
With inward confidence I now could dare	L
To draw yet closer and observe her there	L
	-
Through the light cloud she then stretch'd forth her hand	H
	-
As if to bid the streaky vapour fly	D
At once it seemed to yield to her command	H
	-
Contracted and no mist then met mine eye	D
My glance once more survey'd the smiling land	H
	-
Unclouded and serene appear'd the sky	D
Nought but a veil of purest white she held	H
And round her in a thousand folds it swell'd	H
	-
I know thee and I know thy wav'ring will	D
	-
I know the good that lives and glows in thee	D
Thus spake she and methinks I hear her still	D
	-
The prize long destined now receive from me	D
That blest one will be safe from ev'ry ill	D
	-
Who takes this gift with soul of purity	D
The veil of Minstrelsy from Truth's own hand	H
Of sunlight and of morn's sweet fragrance plann'd	H
	-
And when thou and thy friends at fierce noon day	H
	-
Are parched with heat straight cast it in the air	L
Then Zephyr's cooling breath will round you play	H
	-
Distilling balm and flowers' sweet incense there	L
The tones of earthly woe will die away	H
	-
The grave become a bed of clouds so fair	L
To sing to rest life's billows will be seen	T
The day be lovely and the night serene	T
	-
Come then my friends and whensoe'er ye find	H
	-
Upon your way increase life's heavy load	H
If by fresh waken'd blessings flowers are twin'd	H
	-
Around your path and golden fruits bestow'd	H
We'll seek the coming day with joyous mind	H
	-
Thus blest we'll live thus wander on our road	H
And when our grandsons sorrow o'er our tomb	F
Our love to glad their bosoms still shall bloom	F

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
