The first page of Goethes Faust (zueignung), set in Fraktur. Note the ligatures for 'ch', the long s (which looks a bit like the f), the 'strange' k. The text itself is over 70 years old, Goethe has been dead since 1832, and this book had been published in 1920, so I would say this would be free of rights except possibly for my own rights. But I release it into the public domain.

The whole text is:

Ihr naht euch wieder, schwankende Gestalten, Die früh sich einst dem trüben Blick gezeigt. Versuch’ ich wohl, euch diesmal festzuhalten? Fühl’ ich mein Herz noch jenem Wahn geneigt? Ihr drängt euch zu! Nun gut, so mögt ihr walten, Wie ihr aus Dunst und Nebel um mich steigt; Mein Busen fühlt sich jugendlich erschüttert Vom Zauberhauch, der euren Zug umwittert.
