AFTER these vernal rainsA
-
That we so warmly soughtB
Dear wife see how our plainsA
-
With blessings sweet are fraughtB
We cast our distant gazeC
-
Far in the misty blueD
Here gentle love still straysC
-
Here dwells still rapture trueD
-
Thou seest whither goE
-
Yon pair of pigeons whiteF
Where swelling violets blowE
-
Round sunny foliage brightF
'Twas there we gather'd firstG
-
A nosegay as we rovedG
There into flame first burstG
-
The passion that we provedG
-
Yet when with plighted trothH
-
The priest beheld us fareI
Home from the altar bothH
-
With many a youthful pairI
Then other moons had birthJ
-
And many a beauteous sunK
Then we had gain'd the earthJ
-
Whereon life's race to runK
-
A hundred thousand foldG
-
The mighty bond was seal'dG
In woods on mountains coldG
-
In bushes in the fieldG
Within the wall in cavesL
-
And on the craggy heightG
And love e'en o'er the wavesL
-
Bore in his tube the lightG
-
Contented we remain'dG
-
We deem'd ourselves a pairI
'Twas otherwise ordain'dG
-
For lo a third was thereI
A fourth fifth sixth appear'dG
-
And sat around our boardG
And now the plants we've rear'dG
-
High o'er our heads have soar'dG
-
How fair and pleasant looksM
-
On yonder beauteous spotG
Embraced by poplar brooksM
-
The newly finish'd cotG
Who is it there that sitsN
-
In that glad home aboveO
Is't not our darling FritzN
-
With his own darling loveO
-
Beside yon precipiceP
-
Whence pent up waters stealQ
And leaving the abyssR
-
Fall foaming through the wheelQ
Though people often tellS
-
Of millers' wives so fairI
Yet none can e'er excelS
-
Our dearest daughter thereI
-
Yet where the thick set greenT
-
Stands round yon church and sadG
Where the old fir tree's seenT
-
Alone tow'rd heaven to nodG
'Tis there the ashes lieU
-
Of our untimely deadG
From earth our gaze on highU
-
By their blest memory's ledG
-
See how yon hill is brightG
-
With billowy waving armsV
The force returns whose mightG
-
Has vanquished war's alarmsV
Who proudly hastens hereW
-
With wreath encircled browX
'Tis like our child so dearY
-
Thus Charles comes homeward nowX
-
That dearest honour'd guestG
-
Is welcom'd by the brideG
She makes the true one blestG
-
At the glad festal tideG
And ev'ry one makes hasteG
-
To join the dance with gleeZ
While thou with wreaths hast gracedG
-
The youngest children threeZ
-
To sound of flute and hornA2
-
The time appears renew'dG
When we in love's young mornA2
-
In the glad dance upstoodG
And perfect bliss I knowE
-
Ere the year's course is runK
For to the font we goE
-
With grandson and with sonK

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
