W. Whitman Songtext
von The Nietzsche
W. Whitman Songtext
When I heard the learn′d astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the
Diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, Where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look′d up in perfect silence at the stars.
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the
Diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, Where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look′d up in perfect silence at the stars.
