One of my favourite Goethe Poem. The bleak ambience and the story makes me weep. If you don't understand German, no problem, there's an English translation down there. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)

(I know I do this thing --not replying text message-- a lot, but don't worry...I've learned my lesson) 2. One with boyfriend/girlfriend should NOT flirt with another boy/girl. Really, it's just sickening to watch. 3.
