A poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Who never eat with tears his bread

________________________________________________
Title:     Who never eat with tears his bread
Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe [More Titles by Goethe]

WHO never eat with tears his bread,

Who never through night's heavy hours
Sat weeping on his lonely bed,--

He knows you not, ye heavenly powers!

Through you the paths of life we gain,

Ye let poor mortals go astray,
And then abandon them to pain,--

E'en here the penalty we pay

 

 





-THE END-
Johann von Goethe's poem: Who never eat with tears his bread
