Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - The Stork`s Vocation
Work rating: Low

THE stork who worms and frogs devours

That in our ponds reside,
Why should he dwell on high church-towers,

With which he`s not allied?

Incessantly he chatters there,

And gives our ears no rest;
But neither old nor young can dare

To drive him from his nest.

I humbly ask it,—how can he

Give of his title proof,
Save by his happy tendency

To soil the church`s roof?
