Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDAEFFCCG HBIJAIFKJGFLICI AIIAIMIIIMBINIIAIGO| IN the deepest nights of Winter | A |
| To the Muses kind oft cried I | B |
| Not a ray of morn is gleaming | C |
| Not a sign of daylight breaking | C |
| Bring then at the fitting moment | D |
| Bring the lamp's soft glimm'ring lustre | A |
| 'Stead of Phoebus and Aurora | E |
| To enliven my still labours | F |
| Yet they left me in my slumbers | F |
| Dull and unrefreshing lying | C |
| And to each late waken'd morning | C |
| Follow'd days devoid of profit | G |
| - | |
| When at length return'd the spring time | H |
| To the nightingales thus spake I | B |
| Darling nightingales oh beat ye | I |
| Early early at my window | J |
| Wake me from the heavy slumber | A |
| That chains down the youth so strongly | I |
| Yet the love o'erflowing songsters | F |
| Their sweet melodies protracted | K |
| Through the night before my window | J |
| Kept awake my loving spirit | G |
| Rousing new and tender yearnings | F |
| In my newly waken'd bosom | L |
| And the night thus fleeted o'er me | I |
| And Aurora found me sleeping | C |
| Ay the sun could scarce arouse me | I |
| - | |
| Now at length is come the Summer | A |
| And the early fly so busy | I |
| Draws me from my pleasing slumbers | I |
| At the first born morning glimmer | A |
| Mercilessly then returns she | I |
| Though the half aroused one often | M |
| Scares her from him with impatience | I |
| And she lures her shameless sisters | I |
| So that from my weary eyelids | I |
| Kindly sleep ere long is driven | M |
| From my couch then boldly spring I | B |
| And I seek the darling Muses | I |
| in the beechen grove I find them | N |
| Full of pieasure to receive me | I |
| And to the tormenting insects | I |
| Owe I many a golden hour | A |
| Thus be ye unwelcome beings | I |
| Highly valued by the poet | G |
| As the flies my numbers tell of | O |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
