by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Vom Waldesrand ein letztes Winken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Vom Waldesrand ein letztes Winken
Hinab ins sonnbeglänzte Thal --
Wann werden wir zum andernmal
Aus jenem Zauberbronnen trinken?

Der Klang von unsern warmen Worten
Er wird verwehn, so bald, so bald --
Ein Schauer faßt mich vor dem Wald
Und seinen dunklen, stillen Pforten.

Und zögernd nur mag ich mich schicken
Den heimlich düstern Weg zu gehn --
Wer allzulang ins Licht gesehn
Dem flimmert's seltsam vor den Blicken.
