A quite lovely Sping-themed poem by Goethe came through my
Facebook feed. Asked Copilot for a translation:
Found
I wandered alone
Through the forest deep,
With no thought of searching—
That was my creed.
In the shadows I saw
A flower so bright,
Like stars it shimmered,
Like eyes so light.
I wished to pluck it,
But it softly said:
"Shall I be broken,
Only to fade?"
So I dug it up
With roots so fine,
Carried it home
To a garden divine.
And there I planted it
In a quiet place;
Now it spreads its branches
And blooms with grace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe(1749 -1832)
