Happiness And Vision Poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Happiness And Vision
Together at the altar we
In vision oft were seen by thee,
Thyself as bride, as bridegroom I.
Oft from thy mouth full many a kiss
In an unguarded hour of bliss
I then would steal, while none were by.
The purest rapture we then knew,
The joy those happy hours gave too,
When tasted, fled, as time fleets on.
What now avails my joy to me?
Like dreams the warmest kisses flee,
Like kisses, soon all joys are gone.

The journey of life entails many different phases. What brings us great joy at one point becomes quite ordinary later. But even as the ''troubles of the day are sufficient thereof, '' so, too, are the joys. A poignant reminder that generates a bitter-sweet nostalgia.
