by Georg Trakl (1887 - 1914)
Melancholie
Language: German (Deutsch)
Bläuliche Schatten. O ihr dunklen Augen, Die lang mich anschaun im Vorübergleiten. Gitarrenklänge sanft den Herbst begleiten Im Garten, aufgelöst in braunen Laugen. Des Todes ernste Düsternis bereiten Nymphische Hände, an roten Brüsten saugen Verfallne Lippen und in schwarzen Laugen Des Sonnen Jünglings feuchte Locken gleiten.
