Versos English Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Michael

English poem

Michael

by (1749–1832)

Listen in the reader

And tempests roar in emulation From sea to land, from land to sea, And raging form, without cessation, A chain of wondrous agency, Full in the thunder's path careering,

Flaring the swift destructions play; But, Lord, Thy servants are revering The mild procession of thy day.
