by Karl August Candidus (1817 - 1872)
Sommerfäden
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sommerfäden hin und wieder Fliegen von den Himmeln nieder; Sind der Menschen Hirngespinste, Fetzen goldner Liebesträume, An die Stauden, an die Bäume Haben sie sich dort verfangen; Hochselbsteigene Gewinste Sehen wir darunter hangen.
