by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
Ave weht von den Türmen her
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ave weht von den Türmen her, immer noch hörst du die Kirchen erzählen ; doch die Paläste an stillen Kanälen verraten nichts mehr. Und vorbei an der Traumesruh ihrer schlafenden Stirnen schwanken leise Gondeln wie schwarze Gedanken dem Abend zu.
