Analysis of Book Of Suleika - Suleika 01
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749 (Frankfurt) – 1832 (Weimar)
THE sun appears! A glorious sight!
The crescent-moon clings round him now.
What could this wondrous pair unite?
How to explain this riddle? How?
May this our joy's foreboder prove!
In it I view myself and thee;
Thou calmest me thy sun, my love,--
Come, my sweet moon, cling thou round me!
