A poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The Rule of Life

________________________________________________
Title:     The Rule of Life
Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe [More Titles by Goethe]

IF thou wouldst live unruffled by care,
Let not the past torment thee e'er;
As little as possible be thou annoy'd,
And let the present be ever enjoy'd;
Ne'er let thy breast with hate be supplied,
And to God the future confide.


1815.
