SHOULD E'ER THE LOVELESS DAY.

Portrait of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749–1832
16The Poems

SHOULD e'er the loveless day remain Obscured by storms of hail and rain,

Thy charms thou showest never; I tap at window, tap at door: Come, lov'd one, come! appear once more!

Thou art as fair as ever!

                                1827.*
