SAY which ImmortalA
Merits the highest rewardB
With none contend IC
But I will give itD
To the aye changingE
Ever movingE
Wondrous daughter of JoveF
His best beloved offspringE
Sweet PhantasyG
-
For unto herH
Hath he grantedI
All the fancies which erstI
To none allow'd heJ
Saving himselfF
Now he takes his pleasureH
In the mad oneK
-
She may crowned with rosesG
With staff twined round with liliesG
Roam thro' flow'ry valleysG
Rule the butterfly peopleA
And soft nourishing dewI
With bee like lipsG
Drink from the blossomL
-
Or else she mayM
With fluttering hairN
And gloomy looksG
Sigh in the windI
Round rocky cliffsG
And thousand huedI
Like morn and evenO
Ever changingE
Like moonbeam's lightI
To mortals appearP
-
Let us all thenQ
Adore the FatherH
The old the mightyJ
Who such a beauteousG
Ne'er fading spouseG
Deigns to accordI
To perishing mortalsG
-
To us aloneR
Doth he unite herH
With heavenly bondsG
While he commands herH
in joy and sorrowS
As a true spouseG
Never to fly usG
-
All the remainingE
Races so poorT
Of life teeming earthU
In children so richV
Wander and feedI
In vacant enjoymentI
And 'mid the dark sorrowsG
Of evanescentI
Restricted lifeF
Bow'd by the heavyJ
Yoke of NecessityJ
-
But unto us heJ
Hath his most versatileA
Most cherished daughterH
Granted what joyW
-
Lovingly greet herH
As a beloved oneK
Give her the woman'sG
Place in our homeX
-
And oh may the agedI
Stepmother WisdomL
Her gentle spiritI
Ne'er seek to harmY
-
Yet know I her sisterH
The older sedaterH
Mine own silent friendI
Oh may she neverH
Till life's lamp is quench'dI
Turn away from meJ
That noble inciterH
Comforter HopeZ

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
