The "Marienbad Elegy" (German: Marienbader Elegie) is a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It is named after the spa town of Marienbad (now Mariánské Lázně) where Goethe, 72-years-old, spent the summer of 1821. There he fell madly in love with the 17-year-old Ulrike von Levetzow. Goethe returned to Marienbad in the summer of 1823 to celebrate his birthday. On that occasion, he asked Ulrike's mother, via his friend, Karl August, Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, to marry Ulrike. Her declinal threw Goethe into deep suffering, which he lays open in a deeply personal poem. It is praised for its emotional intensity and poignancy.
