Bedenklich

Liebchen, ach! im starren Bande
Zwängen sich die freien Lieder,
Die im reinen Himmelslande
Munter flogen hin und wider.
Allem ist die Zeit verderblich,
Sie erhalten sich allein!
Jede Zeile soll unsterblich,
Ewig wie die Liebe sein.

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) , from West-östlicher Diwan, in Uschk Nameh -- Buch der Liebe
