Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Book Of Suleika - Suleika 04
Work rating: Medium

WITH what inward joy, sweet lay,

I thy meaning have descried!
Lovingly thou seem`st to say

That I`m ever by his side;

That he ever thinks of me,

That he to the absent gives
All his love`s sweet ecstasy,

While for him alone she lives.

Yes, the mirror which reveals

Thee, my loved one, is my breast;
This the bosom, where thy seals

Endless kisses have impress`d.

Numbers sweet, unsullied truth,

Chain me down in sympathy!
Love`s embodied radiant youth,

In the garb of poesy!
