by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Sakontola
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Willst du die Blüten des frühen, die Früchte des späten Jahres,
willst du was reizt und entzückt, willst du was sättigt und nährt,
willst du den Himmel, die Erde mit einem Namen begreifen,
nenn ich Shakuntala dich, und so ist alles gesagt.
