by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

Mond am Mittag
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der weite blaue Raum
im Mittagsonnenschein,
getrübt von keinem Flaum ...
Der weiße Mond allein

geistert in hoher Ferne,
der Stern des Eloah,
der sich vom Sonnensterne
verbannte, um von da

des Logos Licht zu strahlen,
bis daß er selber kam
und in den dunklen Talen
auf ewig Wohnung nahm ...

Der weite blaue Raum
im Mittagsonnenschein,
getrübt von keinem Flaum ...
Der weiße Mond allein

geistert in hoher Ferne ...
