Analysis of The Remembrance Of The Good

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749 (Frankfurt) – 1832 (Weimar)



THE remembrance of the Good
Keep us ever glad in mood.

The remembrance of the Fair
Makes a mortal rapture share.

The remembrance of one's Love
Blest Is, if it constant prove.

The remembrance of the One
Is the greatest joy that's known.
