Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The Pariah - The Pariah's Thanks

MIGHTY Brama, now I'll bless thee! 'Tis from thee that worlds proceed! As my ruler I confess thee, For of all thou takest heed. All thy thousand ears thou keepest Open to each child of earth; We, 'mongst mortals sunk the deepest, Have from thee received new birth. Bear in mind the woman's story, Who, through grief, divine became; Now I'll wait to view His glory, Who omnipotence can claim.
