Analysis of Should E'er The Loveless Day
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749 (Frankfurt) – 1832 (Weimar)
SHOULD e'er the loveless day remain
Obscured by storms of hail and rain,
Thy charms thou showest never;
I tap at window, tap at door:
Come, lov'd one, come! appear once more!
Thou art as fair as ever!
