Goethe's Path
I would not take this forest path unless
to your angelic threshold gate it led.
All life, indeed the air, I do confess
is cherished, if your esteem they spread!
I can conclude a single thing my dear
I search for just your trail before me.
The traces only of your sign it’s clear
if I wander elsewhere, it does haunt me.
A path void of your love, I shall regret
for I may not relate to one but you.
My destiny is twined in you and set,
my solace only on a path to you.
