Goethe's Poems

To find ourselves in boundless being
Who would not vanish , gladly fleeing
From all that wearied and annoys;
No ardent wants, no wild desiring,
No duties strict, no orders tiring,
Such self-surrender each enjoys.

World-soul,come, let your force pervade us!
To combat the world-spirit aid us
And match our powers to these high stakes.
Then sympathetic spirits guide us,
As gentle masters walk beside us
To him who all things made and makes.

To take what's made and then re-make it,
To fight rigidity and break it,
Eternal living action quest.
What never was grows real and fuller,
As pure clean suns,as worlds with colour,
And in becoming never rest.

It all must move, make new creations,
First take form, then transformations;
For momentsit just seems held fast.
In all things life's perpertuated,
And all must be annihilated
That exsistence strives to last .
