by Georg Trakl (1887 - 1914)
O laß mein Schweigen sein dein Lied!
Language: German (Deutsch)
O laß mein Schweigen sein dein Lied! Was soll des Armen Flüstern dir, Der aus des Lebens Gärten schied? Laß namenlos dich sein in mir - Die traumlos in mir aufgebaut, Wie eine Glocke ohne Ton, Wie meiner Schmerzen süße Braut Und meiner Schlafe trunkner Mohn.
