SAKONTALA.

Portrait of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749–1832
13The Poems

WOULDST thou the blossoms of spring, as well as the fruits of the autumn,

Wouldst thou what charms and delights, wouldst thou what

All that is needed is done, when I Sakontala name.

                                1792.
