PROMETHEUS

Cover your spacious heaven, Zeus,

With cloudy mists;

And, like the boy who lops

The head off thistles

And likewise oaks and mountain-peaks;

Yet you must leave

My earth still standing;

My cottage too, which you did not build,

Leave me my hearth,

Whose kindly glow

By you is envied.

Did you not do all this yourself,

My sacred glowing heart?

And glowed, young and good,

Deceived with grateful thanks

To yonder slumbering one?

I honor you! And why?

Have you ever lightened the sorrows

Of the overburdened?

Have you ever dried the tears

Of the anguish stricken?

Was I not fashioned to be a man

By omnipotent time,

And by eternal fate,

Masters of you and me? Did you ever fancy

That I should learn to hate life,

And flee to wastelands,

Because not all

My blossoming dreams grew ripe?

I am aware of no one poorer

Under the sun, than you Gods!

You nourish painfully,

With sacrifices

And the breath of prayers.

Your majesty;

You would even starve,

If children and beggars

Were not trusting fools. While yet a child,

And ignorant of life,

I turned my wandering gaze

Up toward the sun, as if beyond him.

There were an ear to hear my wailing: .

A heart, like mine

To feel compassion for distress.

Here I sit, forming mortals

After my image;

A race resembling me,

To suffer, to weep,

To enjoy, to be glad,

And you to scorn,

As I!

Goethe

Who helped me

Against the Titan's insolence?

Who rescued me from certain death,

From slavery?
