I TO WERTHER	A
	-
	-
Once more then much wept shadow thou dost dare	B
	-
Boldly to face the day's clear light	C
To meet me on fresh blooming meadows fair	B
	-
And dost not tremble at my sight	C
Those happy times appear return'd once more	D
	-
When on one field we quaff'd refreshing dew	E
And when the day's unwelcome toils were o'er	A
	-
The farewell sunbeams bless'd our ravish'd view	E
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	A
Now us and now the forms that round us hover	A
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	C
A woman's beauteous form instils delight	C
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	A
For weal and woe thou left'st us evermore	D
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
	-

II ELEGY	L
	-
	-
When man had ceased to utter his lament	Y
	-
A god then let me tell my tale of sorrow	X
	-
WHAT hope of once more meeting is there now	Z
In the still closed blossoms of this day	A2
Both heaven and hell thrown open seest thou	Z
What wav'ring thoughts within the bosom play	A2
No longer doubt Descending from the sky	V
She lifts thee in her arms to realms on high	V
	-
And thus thou into Paradise wert brought	B2
	-
As worthy of a pure and endless life	C2
Nothing was left no wish no hope no thought	B2
	-
Here was the boundary of thine inmost strife	C2
And seeing one so fair so glorified	I
The fount of yearning tears was straightway dried	I
	-
No motion stirr'd the day's revolving wheel	D2
	-
In their own front the minutes seem'd to go	X
The evening kiss a true and binding seal	D2
	-
Ne'er changing till the morrow's sunlight glow	X
The hours resembled sisters as they went	Y
Yet each one from another different	E2
	-
The last hour's kiss so sadly sweet effac'd	E2
	-
A beauteous network of entwining love	F2
Now on the threshold pause the feet now haste	E2
	-
As though a flaming cherub bade them move	G2
The unwilling eye the dark road wanders o'er	A
Backward it looks but closed it sees the door	D
	-
And now within itself is closed this breast	E2
	-
As though it ne'er were open and as though	X
Vying with ev'ry star no moments blest	E2
	-
Had in its presence felt a kindling glow	X
Sadness reproach repentance weight of care	B
Hang heavy on it in the sultry air	B
	-
Is not the world still left The rocky steeps	X
	-
Are they with holy shades no longer crown'd	E2
Grows not the harvest ripe No longer creeps	X
	-
The espalier by the stream the copse around	E2
Doth not the wondrous arch of heaven still rise	X
Now rich in shape now shapeless to the eyes	X
	-
As seraph like from out the dark clouds' chorus	X
	-
With softness woven graceful light and fair	B
Resembling Her in the blue aether o'er us	X
	-
A slender figure hovers in the air	B
Thus didst thou see her joyously advance	X
The fairest of the fairest in the dance	X
	-
Yet but a moment dost thou boldly dare	B
	-
To clasp an airy form instead of hers	X
Back to thine heart thou'lt find it better there	B
	-
For there in changeful guise her image stirs	X
What erst was one to many turneth fast	E2
In thousand forms each dearer than the last	E2
	-
As at the door on meeting lingerd she	L
	-
And step by step my faithful ardour bless'd	E2
For the last kiss herself entreated me	L
	-
And on my lips the last last kiss impress'd	E2
Thus clearly traced the lov'd one's form we view	E
With flames engraven on a heart so true	E
	-
A heart that firm as some embattled tower	A
	-
Itself for her her in itself reveres	X
For her rejoices in its lasting power	A
	-
Conscious alone when she herself appears	X
Feels itself freer in so sweet a thrall	H2
And only beats to give her thanks in all	H2
	-
The power of loving and all yearning sighs	X
	-
For love responsive were effaced and drown'd	E2
While longing hope for joyous enterprise	X
	-
Was form'd and rapid action straightway found	E2
If love can e'er a loving one inspire	I2
Most lovingly it gave me now its fire	A
	-
And 'twas through her an inward sorrow lay	A2
	-
On soul and body heavily oppress'd	E2
To mournful phantoms was my sight a prey	A2
	-
In the drear void of a sad tortured breast	E2
Now on the well known threshold Hope hath smil'd	E2
Herself appeareth in the sunlight mild	E2
	-
Unto the peace of God which as we read	E2
	-
Blesseth us more than reason e'er bath done	M
Love's happy peace would I compare indeed	E2
	-
When in the presence of the dearest one	M
There rests the heart and there that sweetest thought	E2
The thought of being hers is check'd by nought	E2
	-
In the pure bosom doth a yearning float	E2
	-
Unto a holier purer unknown Being	J2
Its grateful aspiration to devote	E2
	-
The Ever Nameless then unriddled seeing	J2
We call it piety such blest delight	E2
I feel a share in when before her sight	E2
	-
Before her sight as 'neath the sun's hot ray	A2
	-
Before her breath as 'neath the spring's soft wind	E2
In its deep wintry cavern melts away	A2
	-
Self love so long in icy chains confin'd	E2
No selfishness and no self will are nigh	V
For at her advent they were forced to fly	V
	-
It seems as though she said As hours pass by	V
	-
They spread before us life with kindly plan	K2
Small knowledge did the yesterday supply	V
	-
To know the morrow is conceal'd from man	K2
And if the thought of evening made me start	E2
The sun at setting gladden'd straight my heart	E2
	-
Act then as I and look with joyous mind	E2
	-
The moment in the face nor linger thou	Z
Meet it with speed so fraught with life so kind	E2
	-
In action and in love so radiant now	Z
Let all things be where thou art childlike ever	A
Thus thoult be all thus thou'lt be vanquish'd never	A
	-
Thou speakest well methought for as thy guide	E2
	-
The moment's favour did a god assign	F
And each one feels himself when by thy side	E2
	-
Fate's fav'rite in a moment so divine	F
I tremble at thy look that bids me go	X
Why should I care such wisdom vast to know	X
	-
Now am I far And what would best befit	E2
	-
The present minute I could scarcely tell	L2
Full many a rich possession offers it	E2
	-
These but offend and I would fain repel	L2
Yearnings unquenchable still drive me on	M2
All counsel save unbounded tears is gone	N2
	-
Flow on flow on in never ceasing course	X
	-
Yet may ye never quench my inward fire	A
Within my bosom heaves a mighty force	X
	-
Where death and life contend in combat dire	I2
Medicines may serve the body's pangs to still	O2
Nought but the spirit fails in strength of will	O2
	-
Fails in conception wherefore fails it so	X
	-
A thousand times her image it portrays	X
Enchanting now and now compell'd to go	X
	-
Now indistinct now clothed in purest rays	X
How could the smallest comfort here be flowing	J2
The ebb and flood the coming and the going	J2
	-
	-
	-
	-
Leave me here now my life's companions true	E
	-
Leave me alone on rock in moor and heath	P2
But courage open lies the world to you	E
	-
The glorious heavens above the earth beneath	P2
Observe investigate with searching eyes	X
And nature will disclose her mysteries	X
	-
To me is all I to myself am lost	E2
	-
Who the immortals' fav'rite erst was thought	E2
They tempting sent Pandoras to my cost	E2
	-
So rich in wealth with danger far more fraught	E2
They urged me to those lips with rapture crown'd	E2
Deserted me and hurl'd me to the ground	E2
	-

III ATONEMENT	E2
	-
Composed when years old for a Polish lady who excelled in playing on the pianoforte	E2
	-
Passion brings reason who can pacify	V
	-
An anguish'd heart whose loss hath been so great	E2
Where are the hours that fled so swiftly by	V
	-
In vain the fairest thou didst gain from fate	E2
Sad is the soul confused the enterprise	X
	-
The glorious world how on the sense it dies	X
	-
In million tones entwined for evermore	D
	-
Music with angel pinions hovers there	B
To pierce man's being to its inmost core	D
	-
Eternal beauty has its fruit to bear	B
The eye grows moist in yearnings blest reveres	X
The godlike worth of music as of tears	X
	-
And so the lighten'd heart soon learns to see	L
	-
That it still lives and beats and ought to beat	E2
Off'ring itself with joy and willingly	L
	-
In grateful payment for a gift so sweet	E2
And then was felt oh may it constant prove	G2
The twofold bliss of music and of love	F2
