Rhyme Scheme: A BA BC DE DFF GGHH EEIIJKBBLLMNOOPPQQ GGRRSS TTECUULVWWXX| ONCE more then much wept shadow thou dost dare | A |
| - | |
| Boldly to face the day's clear light | B |
| To meet me on fresh blooming meadows fair | A |
| - | |
| And dost not tremble at my sight | B |
| Those happy times appear return'd once more | C |
| - | |
| When on one field we quaff'd refreshing dew | D |
| And when the day's unwelcome toils were o'er | E |
| - | |
| The farewell sunbeams bless'd our ravish'd view | D |
| Fate bade thee go to linger here was mine | F |
| Going the first the smaller loss was thine | F |
| - | |
| The life of man appears a glorious fate | G |
| The day how lovely and the night how great | G |
| And we 'mid Paradise like raptures plac'd | H |
| The sun's bright glory scarce have learn'd to taste | H |
| - | |
| When strange contending feelings dimly cover | E |
| Now us and now the forms that round us hover | E |
| One's feelings by no other are supplied | I |
| 'Tis dark without if all is bright inside | I |
| An outward brightness veils my sadden'd mood | J |
| When Fortune smiles how seldom understood | K |
| Now think we that we know her and with might | B |
| A woman's beauteous form instils delight | B |
| The youth as glad as in his infancy | L |
| The spring time treads as though the spring were he | L |
| Ravish'd amazed he asks how this is done | M |
| He looks around the world appears his own | N |
| With careless speed he wanders on through space | O |
| Nor walls nor palaces can check his race | O |
| As some gay flight of birds round tree tops plays | P |
| So 'tis with him who round his mistress strays | P |
| He seeks from AEther which he'd leave behind him | Q |
| The faithful look that fondly serves to bind him | Q |
| - | |
| Yet first too early warn'd and then too late | G |
| He feels his flight restrain'd is captur'd straight | G |
| To meet again is sweet to part is sad | R |
| Again to meet again is still more glad | R |
| And years in one short moment are enshrin'd | S |
| But oh the harsh farewell is hid behind | S |
| - | |
| Thou smilest friend with fitting thoughts inspired | T |
| By a dread parting was thy fame acquired | T |
| Thy mournful destiny we sorrow'd o'er | E |
| For weal and woe thou left'st us evermore | C |
| And then again the passions' wavering force | U |
| Drew us along in labyrinthine course | U |
| And we consumed by constant misery | L |
| At length must part and parting is to die | V |
| How moving is it when the minstrel sings | W |
| To 'scape the death that separation brings | W |
| Oh grant some god to one who suffers so | X |
| To tell half guilty his sad tale of woe | X |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
