    Der Jugend Zauber für und für
    Ruht lächelnd doch, auf dir auf dir,
    Du graue Stadt am Meer

    final lines of Die Stadt by Theodor Storm
    Comment
    I can see that the last lines of this poem depend on musical repetition.

    But translating 'für und für' as 'for and for' just seems silly. Is there some other way of doing it?

    "für und für" in the first place means "allezeit": all the time. German changed a bit since Storm's days. ;)
