Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“And while throughout the self same motion
Repeated on forever flows
The thousandfold o er arching ocean
Its strong embrace around all throws
Streams through all things the joy of living
The least star thrilleth fond accord
And all their crowding all their striving
Is endless rest in God the Lord.

GER:
Wenn im Unendlichen dasselbe
Sich wiederholend ewig fließt,
Das tausendfältige Gewölbe
Sich kräftig ineinander schließt,
Strömt Lebenslust aus allen Dingen,
Dem kleinsten wie dem größten Stern
Und alles Drängen, alles Ringen
Ist ewige Ruh in Gott dem Herrn.
Zahme Xenien VI.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Xenien
