Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Book Of Parables - In The Koran With Strange Delight
Work rating: Low

In the Koran with strange delight
A peacock`s feather met my sight:
Thou`rt welcome in this holy place,
The highest prize on earth`s wide face!
As in the stars of heaven, in thee,
God`s greatness in the small we see;
For he whose gaze whole worlds bath bless`d
His eye hath even here impress`d,
And the light down in beauty dress`d,
So that e`en monarchs cannot hope
In splendour with the bird to cope.
Meekly enjoy thy happy lot,
And so deserve that holy spot!
