Title: The Spirit's Salute Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe [More Titles by Goethe] THE hero's noble shade stands high On yonder turret grey; He speeds it on his way. "See with what strength these sinews thrill'd! This heart, how firm and wild! This cup, how bright it smil'd! "Half of my life I strove and fought, And half I calmly pass'd; Sail safely to the last!" 1774. -THE END- GO TO TOP OF SCREEN |
