Hölderlin, Friedrich: Then and now (Ehmals und Jetzt in English)

Portre of Hölderlin, Friedrich

Ehmals und Jetzt (German)

In jüng'ren Tagen war ich des Morgens froh,
Des Abends weint ich; jetzt, da ich älter bin,
Beginn ich zweifelnd meinen Tag, doch
Heilig und heiter ist mir sein Ende.

Then and now (English)

In my youth I enjoyed the morning
And wept at night; now that I'm older
My day begins with doubt but
Its end is sacred and serene.
