by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

Verlacht mich auch neckisch der...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Verlacht mich auch neckisch der Wirbelwind,
– Mein Kind, das ist ein Himmelskind
Mit Locken, wie Sonnenscheinen.

Ich sitze weinend unter dem Dach,
Bin in den Nächten fieberwach
Und nähe Hemdchen aus Leinen.

Meiner Mutter Wiegenfest ist heut,
Gestorben sind Vater und Mutter beid’
Und sahen nicht mehr den Kleinen.

Meine Mutter träumte einmal schwer,
Sie sah mich nicht an ohne Seufzer mehr
Und ohne heimliches Weinen. –
