THE WANDERER'S NIGHT-SONG by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

First Line: THOU WHO COMEST FROM ON HIGH
Last Line: TO MY BOSOM COME AGAIN!
Subject(s): WANDERING & WANDERERS; WANDERLUST; VAGABONDS; TRAMPS; HOBOES;

THOU who comest from on high,
Who all woes and sorrows stillest,
Who, for twofold misery,
Hearts with twofold balsam fillest,
Would this constant strife would cease!
What avails the joy and pain?
Blissful Peace,
To my bosom come again!
