Faust
(Auto-generated)
- A good man does his honest share
In exercising, with the strictest care,
The art bequeathed to his possession!†*bequeathed = give or pass down - the wings that lift the mind no aid
Of wings to lift the body can bequeath me.† - FAUST
Though some familiar tone, retrieving
My thoughts from torment, led me on,
And sweet, clear echoes came, deceiving
A faith bequeathed from Childhood's dawn,
Yet now I curse whate'er entices
And snares the soul with visions vain;
With dazzling cheats and dear devices
Confines it in this cave of pain!†bequeathed = give or pass down
