written in a volume of goethe.

    • Six thankful weeks,—and let it be
    • A meter of prosperity,—
    • In my coat I bore this book,
    • And seldom therein could I look,
    • For I had too much to think,
    • Heaven and earth to eat and drink.
    • Is he hapless who can spare
    • In his plenty things so rare?
