WTF I posted some beer ad version lmao
Here's the one I meant to post.

I'll use the opportunity to post another poem, this one's by Goethe
>How, in the light of morning,
>Round me thou glowest,
>Spring, thou beloved one!
>With thousand-varying loving bliss
>The sacred emotions
>Born of thy warmth eternal
>Press 'gainst my bosom,
>Thou endlessly fair one!
>Could I but hold thee clasp'd
>Within mine arms!

>Ah! upon thy bosom
>Lay I, pining,
>And then thy flowers, thy grass,
>Were pressing against my heart.
>Thou coolest the burning
>Thirst of my bosom,
>Beauteous morning breeze!
>The nightingale then calls me
>Sweetly from out of the misty vale.
>I come, I come!
>Whither? Ah, whither?

>Up, up, lies my course.
>While downward the clouds
>Are hovering, the clouds
>Are bending to meet yearning love.
>For me,
>Within thine arms
>Upwards!
>Embraced and embracing!
>Upwards into thy bosom,
>Oh Father all-loving!
