Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - The Wedding
Work rating: Low

A FEAST was in a village spread,—
It was a wedding-day, they said.
The parlour of the inn I found,
And saw the couples whirling round,
Each lass attended by her lad,
And all seem`d loving, blithe, and glad;
But on my asking for the bride,
A fellow with a stare, replied:
"`Tis not the place that point to raise!

We`re only dancing in her honour;
We now have danced three nights and days,

And not bestowed one thought upon her."


                      

Whoe`er in life employs his eyes
Such cases oft will recognise.
