Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Next Year`s Spring
Work rating: Medium

THE bed of flowers

Loosens amain,
The beauteous snowdrops

Droop o`er the plain.
The crocus opens

Its glowing bud,
Like emeralds others,

Others, like blood.
With saucy gesture

Primroses flare,
And roguish violets,

Hidden with care;
And whatsoever

There stirs and strives,
The Spring`s contented,

If works and thrives.

`Mongst all the blossoms

That fairest are,
My sweetheart`s sweetness

Is sweetest far;
Upon me ever

Her glances light,
My song they waken,

My words make bright,
An ever open

And blooming mind,
In sport, unsullied,

In earnest, kind.
Though roses and lilies

By Summer are brought,
Against my sweetheart

Prevails he nought.
