" Desiderata " (Latin: "desired thing") is a 1927 prose poem by American author Max Ehrmann. Mostly unknown in the author's lifetime, the text became widely known after being used in recorded devotions and word-of-mouth in 1971 and 1972.

Histori
In 1927, American writer Max Ehrmann (1872-1945) wrote the poem prose Desiderata, first published in Max Ehrmann's Poem in 1948. In 1956, Rev. Frederick Kates, rector of St. Paul's Church in Baltimore, Maryland, inserted Desiderata in the compilation of reflection material for his congregation. The compilations include the church's basic dates: "Church of Saint Paul Lama, Baltimore AD 1692". As a result, the date of writing of the text (and still is) widely erroneously as 1692, the year of the church's foundation.

Usage in popular culture
The copyright of poem A 962402 was registered by Ehrmann on January 3, 1927, as "Walking quietly in the midst of noise and haste, etc. Card.", And renewed by his widow, Bertha K. Ehrmann, in 1954.
In 1942, Max Ehrmann gave permission to Dr. Charles Moore, a US Army psychiatrist, to distribute copies of poetry to the army. Three years after Ehrmann's death, his widow included Desiderata in Max Ehrmann's Poem, published in 1948 by Bruce Humphries Publishing Company, Boston. In 1967, Robert L. Bell, obtained the publishing rights of the Bruce Humphries Publishing Company, where he became president, and subsequently purchased the copyright of Richard Wright, Ehrmann's nephew and heir.
In August 1971, the poem was published in Success Unlimited magazine, without the permission of Robert L. Bell. In the 1976 lawsuit against the publisher of the magazine, Joint Registry Co, the court ruled (and then the 7th Circuit Court of Appeal was upheld) that copyright had been forfeited since the poem had been ratified for publication without notice of copyright in the 1940s - and that the poem are in the public domain.
