Classic and Contemporary Poetry

FOUND by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

First Line: I WANDERED LONELY
Last Line: IT BLOOMS AND GROWS.
I wandered lonely
Beneath the trees,
And sought for nothing,
But strolled at ease.

There in the shadows
A flower grew,
Like starlight beaming,
Like eyes so blue

I sought to break it,
But heard it say:
"Shall I be broken
To fade away?"

I aug it out then
With roots and all,
And bore it home to
My garden small.

Again it's planted
And finds repose;
And now as ever
It blooms and grows.
