Not illustrated. 1859 edition. Excerpt: ... On sped the stream, and ever as it ran It swept away her image, which did change With every bend and dimple of the wave. In wrath the Goddess turn'd her from the spot, Yet after her the brook, with taunting tongue, Did call--" 'Tis plain thou wilt not see the truth, All purely though my mirror shows it thee!" But she, meanwhile, stood with indifferent ear, By a far corner of the crystal lake, Delightedly surveying her fair form, And settling flowerets in her golden hair. M. EXCULPATION. Wilt thou dare to blame the woman for her seeming sudden changes, Swaying east and swaying westward, as the breezes shake the tree 1 Fool! thy selfish thought misguides thee--find the man that never ranges; Woman wavers but to seek him--Is not then the fault in thee? THE SWISS ALP. Yesterday thy head was brown, as are the flowing locks of love, In the bright blue sky I watch'd thee towering, giant-like, above. Now thy summit, white and hoary, glitters all with silver snow, Which the stormy night hath shaken from its robes upon thy brow; And I know that youth and age are bound with such mysterious meaning, As the days are link'd together, one short dream but intervening. A. MAEEIAGE UNEQUAL. Alas, that even in a heavenly marriage, The fairest lots should ne'er bo reconcil'd! Psyche wax'd old, and prudent in her carriage, Whilst Cupid evermore remains the child. A. THE NEW LOVE. Love, not the simple youth that whilom wound Himself about young Psyche's heart, looked round Olympus with a cold and roving eye, That had accustom'd been to victory. It rested on a Goddess, noblest far Of all that noble throng--a glorious star--Venus Urania. And from that hour He loved her. Ah! to his resistless power Even she, the holy one, did yield at last, And in his daring...

From the INTRODUCTION. TRANSLATIONS of the lyrical poems of Goethe have often been laid before the English and American admirers of German poetry; but hitherto only in connection with those of other German poets. The present selection, which is devoted to him alone, is, it is believed, also numerically greater than any that has preceded it. It would not, however, have been out of place, even if it had only traversed the same ground that its predecessors had passed over. To those, indeed, who are unacquainted with the original, two versions are not better than one; but translations are rarely read, except by those who have some knowledge of the work in its primary form; and to these there is value in every new attempt to express, in their own familiar language, the beauty of sentiment which they have admired in another, however moderate the success of the attempt may be. When we read the lighter poetry of a strange language, we commonly feel a desire to attempt to render into our own those pieces, which are especially recommended to us by some new and beautiful thought, or by the happy expression of feelings that have lain long unuttered in our own minds: " Thoughts that we have cherished long Intermingled with the song." Many of the present translations originated in a similar feeling, before any intention had been entertained of venturing upon the hazardous task of preparing an English version of the great German Bard for publication. The songs and other poems, which relate to Frederica Brion and to Lili, were among those to which attention was naturally directed, by the perusal of the poet's autobiography. Mr. Lewes's Life of Goethe had not yet been made public, and the information which could be obtained in the English language concerning the first of these persons was limited to the account given by Goethe himself. To gratify a perhaps foolish curiosity, and for the purpose of getting a thorough understanding of the poems addressed to her, the publications which relate to Frederica were obtained from Germany. Mr. Lewes's full account of her and others, in whom Goethe became interested, supplies all that could be desired to be known regarding them; but, for the sake of illustration, a short notice of these persons will be given at the end of this introduction. Of the poet, and of the character of his poetry, the translator will venture to say but little. Criticism is so high an art, and in this instance the subject of it so exalted, that the ground would be dangerous. Nor would it be worthwhile merely to repeat what has been said by others. It will only be remarked, that the poems in this collection belong, for the most part, to his earlier years; his later lyrical writings being deficient in the warmth and simplicity which distinguish the productions of his youth. For in this kind of poetry, experience and the increase of knowledge are in vain, Pues amor para ser sabio No va � la universidad. * * * * Y asi en su ciencia ver�s Que los que la cursan mas, Son los que la saben menos. Concerning the execution of the work, it may be observed, that the translator has labored to be faithful, although, no doubt, it will be found that here and there his unskilfulness has caused him to sacrifice reason to rhyme.

Excerpt from Poems and Ballads This somewhat mystical and rather unsatisfactory composition, which appears by way of preface to the author's miscellaneous poems, is certainly not conceived in his happiest manner, though, like all his other writings, it has been most carefully elaborated. It seems intended to supply the place of the invocation to the muse, with which the ancient poets almost invariably commenced as a sort of sanctifyin g ceremony; but the custom, appropriate enough so long as the inspiration of the sacred Nine was acknowledged, or even typically accepted, has now fallen into general disuse. The substitution of the Goddess of Nature, or the Genius of Poetry, appears to our English taste but a clumsy expedient. Goethe, however, thought otherwise; and his example has since been fol lowed by various German poets of lesser note, who have vouch safed to us glimpses of their communings with some visionary Egeria.
