The Brethren Poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The Brethren

Rating: 2.8


SLUMBER and Sleep, two brethren ordain'd by the gods to their service,

Were by Prometheus implored, comfort to give to his race;
But though so light to the gods, too heavy for man was their burden,

We in their slumber find sleep, we in their sleep meet with death.
