From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Goethe
SPIRIT

In the currents of life, in action's storm,

I float and I wave

With billowy motion!

Birth and the grave

A limitless ocean,

A constant weaving

With change still rife,

A restless heaving,

A glowing life--

Thus time's whirring loom unceasing I ply,

And weave the life-garment of deity.
