A poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Paulo post futuri

________________________________________________
Title:     Paulo post futuri
Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe [More Titles by Goethe]

WEEP ye not, ye children dear,

That as yet ye are unborn:
For each sorrow and each tear

Makes the father's heart to mourn.

Patient be a short time to it,

Unproduced, and known to none;
If your father cannot do it,

By your mother 'twill be done.


1784.
