Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - HatemJohann Wolfgang von Goethe - Hatem
Work rating: Low


Locks of brown, still bind your captive  In the circle of her face!  I, beloved sinuous tresses,  Naught possess that`s worth your grace—  But a heart whose love enduring  Swells in youthful fervor yet:  Snow and mists envelop Etna,  Making men the fire forget.  Yonder mountain`s pride so stately  Thou dost shame like dawn`s red glow;  And its spell once more bids Hatem  Thrill of spring and summer know.  Once more fill the glass, the flagon!  Let me drink to my desire.  If she find a heap of ashes,  Say, "He perished in her fire!"
