.Excerpt, “Borrowed Plumes: Translations from the German Poets.” James B.D. Gribble. London: 1888..

.

Wind and water drive the mill,

Steam with giant force subdues;

By storms and passions urged, our will

The courage of the heart renews.

.

But stronger far than all combined,

Than raging flood, or steam or wind;

Stronger e’en than life or death,

From loving lips in one soft breath.
