by Friedrich Adler (1857 - 1938)

Mittag
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bunte Schmetterlinge 
flattern müd' einher,
seine kleine Schwinge 
wird dem Vogel schwer.

Leise ihre Flügel 
hebt die heiße Luft,
über Tal und Hügel
langsam schwebt der Duft.

Still in weiter Runde,
alles Atmen spann
rings die Mittagsstunde
in den schweren Bann.

Glockentöne gleiten
fern, vernehmbar kaum,
wie aus schöner'n Zeiten
ein verklung'ner Traum.
