Title:     From the Sorrows of Young Werther
Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe [More Titles by Goethe]

EV'RY youth for love's sweet portion sighs,

Ev'ry maiden sighs to win man's love;

Why, alas! should bitter pain arise

From the noblest passion that we prove?

Thou, kind soul, bewailest, lov'st him well,

From disgrace his memory's saved by thee;

Lo, his spirit signs from out its cell:

BE A MAN, NOR SEEK TO FOLLOW ME.

1775.
