Göethe.]; from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's 'Kennst du das Land', a lyric included in his novel, Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre (1795). This translation by Benjamin Beresford (1750-1819) appears first in The German Erato, or a Collection of Favourite Songs Translated into English, with Their Original Music, 2nd ed.
