The fleeting
Blame not the nightingales
soon dying away sweet song;
See how flees in all, all
life delights omitted
always turn the most beautiful.
Even the bloom of your pursuit,
All Muses fairest favor Each
highest art of life,
friend, you fetter her in vain
you slipping away, the art of magic.
From the sea of gods joys
Ward, a drop in us,
Ward mixed with some regret,
empty idea, false joys,
Ward drowned in the sea of fog.
But in the fog and seas
the drop of happiness is: drink
For a moment it
clean to drink and sink
Is enjoyment of eternity.
Johann Gottfried von Herder
