Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Book Of Suleika - Suleika 02
Work rating: Low

WHAT is by this stir reveal`d?

Doth the East glad tidings bring?
For my heart`s deep wounds are heal`d

By his mild and cooling wing.

He the dust with sports doth meet,

And in gentle cloudlets chase;
To the vineleaf`s safe retreat

Drives the insects` happy race,

Cools these burning cheeks of mine,

Checks the sun`s fierce glow Adam,
Kisses, as he flies, the vine,

Flaunting over hill and plain.

And his whispers soft convey

Thousand greetings from my friend;
Ere these hills own night`s dark sway,

Kisses greet me, without end.

Thus canst thou still onward go,

Serving friend and mourner too!
There, where lofty ramparts glow,

Soon the loved one shall I view.

Ah, what makes the heart`s truth known,—

Love`s sweet breath,—a newborn life,—
Learn I from his mouth alone,

In his breath alone is rife!
