A poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

My grief no mortals know

________________________________________________
Title:     My grief no mortals know
Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe [More Titles by Goethe]

My grief no mortals know,

Except the yearning!
Alone, a prey to woe,

All pleasure spurning,
Up tow'rds the sky I throw

A gaze discerning.

He who my love can know

Seems ne'er returning;
With strange and fiery glow

My heart is burning.
My grief no mortals know,

Except the yearning!

 

 




-THE END-
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's poem: My grief no mortals know
