 Email Poem
A PLAN THE MUSES ENTERTAINED.

Written by:
Johann Wolfgang
von Goethe
|
A PLAN the Muses entertain'd
Methodically to impart
To Psyche the poetic art;
Prosaic-pure her soul remain'd.
No wondrous sounds escaped her lyre
E'en in the fairest Summer night;
But Amor came with glance of fire,--
The lesson soon was learn'd aright.
1827.*
