POEMS
THE GERMAN ART (1800)

Оглавление

  By no kind Augustus reared,

  To no Medici endeared,

    German Art arose;

  Fostering glory smil'd not on her,

  Ne'er with kingly smiles to sun her,

    Did her blooms unclose.

  No! She went, by Monarchs slighted

  Went unhonored, unrequited,

    From high Frederick's throne;

  Praise and Pride be all the greater,

  That Man's genius did create her,

    From Man's worth alone.

  Therefore, all from loftier mountains,

  Purer wells and richer Fountains,

    Streams our Poet-Art;

  So no rule to curb its rushing—

  All the fuller flows it gushing

    From its deep—The Heart!
