Theodor Körner
I want to share this beautiful poem which I translated from German into English from an antique wine cup. Hope you like it! Theodor Körner (full name - Carl Theodor Körner) was a German poet and soldier, who had fought during the Napoleonic wars. He was born in Dresden in 1791 and died in Rosenow, 1813, aged just 21.
