Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - It Is Good
Work rating: Low

IN Paradise while moonbeams play`d,

Jehovah found, in slumber deep,
Adam fast sunk; He gently laid

Eve near him,—she, too, fell asleep.
There lay they now, on earth`s fair shrine,
God`s two most beauteous thoughts divine.—
When this He saw, He cried:—`Tis Good!!!
And scarce could move from where He stood.

No wonder, that our joy`s complete
While eye and eye responsive meet,
When this blest thought of rapture moves us—
That we`re with Him who truly loves us,
And if He cries:—Good, let it be!
`Tis so for both, it seems to me.
Thou`rt clasp`d within these arms of mine,
Dearest of all God`s thoughts divine!
