Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Poems

Back to Poems Page

[Written just after the preceding one, on a
mountain overlooking the Lake of Zurich.]

IF I, dearest Lily, did not love thee,

How this prospect would enchant my sight!
And yet if I, Lily, did not love thee,

Could I find, or here, or there, delight?

1775.
