Analysis of The Yelpers
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749 (Frankfurt) – 1832 (Weimar)
OUR rides in all directions bend,
For business or for pleasure,
Yet yelpings on our steps attend,
And barkings without measure.
The dog that in our stable dwells,
After our heels is striding,
And all the while his noisy yells
But show that we are riding.
