by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

Ich glaube wir werden uns niemehr...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich glaube wir werden uns niemehr wiedersehn -
Der Morgen versteckt sein Auge vor mir.

Ich habe zu lange auf Knieen gelegen
Vor deinem dämmernden Schweigen.

O, unsere Lippen sehnen sich nach Spielen -
Wir hätten uns blühend geküsst unter den großen Sternen.

Totenschleier umhüllen
Die goldglänzenden Glieder des Himmels.
Ich glaube, wir werden uns niemehr wiedersehn.
