Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Joy
Work rating: Low

A DRAGON-FLY with beauteous wing
Is hov`ring o`er a silv`ry spring;
I watch its motions with delight,—
Now dark its colours seem, now bright;
Chameleon-like appear, now blue,
Now red, and now of greenish hue.
Would it would come still nearer me,
That I its tints might better see

It hovers, flutters, resting ne`er!

But hush! it settles on the mead.
I have it safe now, I declare!

  And when its form I closely view,

  `Tis of a sad and dingy blue—
Such, Joy-Dissector, is thy case indeed
