A poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

May Song (1812)

________________________________________________
Title:     May Song (1812)
Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe [More Titles by Goethe]

BETWEEN wheatfield and corn,
Between hedgerow and thorn,
Between pasture and tree,
Where's my sweetheart
Tell it me!

Sweetheart caught I

Not at home;
She's then, thought I.

Gone to roam.
Fair and loving

Blooms sweet May;
Sweetheart's roving,

Free and gay.

By the rock near the wave,
Where her first kiss she gave,
On the greensward, to me,--
Something I see!
Is it she?


1812.
