< The Works of J. W. von Goethe < Volume 9


MY ONLY PROPERTY.

I feel that I'm possessed of nought,
Saving the free unfettered thought
Which from my bosom seeks to flow,
And each propitious passing hour
That suffers me in all its power
A loving fate with truth to know.


May each honest effort be
Crowned with lasting constancy.
