Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Minstrel's Book - Talismans

GOD is of the east possess'd, God is ruler of the west; North and south alike, each land Rests within His gentle hand. ——- HE, the only righteous one, Wills that right to each be done. 'Mongst His hundred titles, then, Highest praised be this!—Amen. ——- ERROR seeketh to deceive me, Thou art able to retrieve me; Both in action and in song Keep my course from going wrong.
