by Ricarda Octavia Huch (1864 - 1947)

Durch ein wallend Korngefilde schreitend
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Durch ein wallend Korngefilde schreitend
Sah ich, wie ein Mann die Aehren mähte;
Aus der freien Linken aber gleitend,
Sah ich Körner, die er wieder säte.
Seltsam war ein Schnitter mir erschienen,
Der zugleich das Feld mit Samen segnet;
Da erkannt' ich seine ernsten Mienen:
Sieh, es war der Tod, dem ich begegnet.
