Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - The Warning
Work rating: Low

WHEN sounds the trumpet at the Judgment Day,
And when forever all things earthly die,
We must a full and true account supply
Of ev`ry useless word we dropp`d in play.
But what effect will all the words convey
Wherein with eager zeal and lovingly,
That I might win thy favour, labour`d I,
If on thine ear alone they die away?
Therefore, sweet love, thy conscience bear in mind,
Remember well how long thou hast delay`d,
So that the world such sufferings may not know.
If I must reckon, and excuses find
For all things useless I to thee have said,
To a full year the Judgment Day will grow
