by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

Der Morgen ist bleich von Traurigkeit
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Morgen ist bleich von Traurigkeit,
Es sind so viel junge Blumen gestorben,
Und Du, o Du bist gestorben,
Und mein Herz klagt eine Sehnsucht weit

Über die ziellose Flut
Der blaublühenden Meere,
Und Deine Mutter höre
Ich weinen in meinem Blut.

Und ich muß immer träumen
Von Deinen tiefen Lenzaugen,
Die blickten wie wilde Knospen
Von gottalten Bäumen.
