by Karl Wolfskehl (1869 - 1948)

Du hast ins leben stumm gesehn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du hast ins leben stumm gesehn 
Mit deinen blicken die vergehn 
In denen alle welten schäumen 
In denen alle lenze träumen 
Vom auferstehn. 
Wer mag den frühling dir befrein? 
Wer wird der welterlöser sein? 
Rings licht und hall in den geländen 
Schwer ruht dein haupt in deinen händen. 
Ewig allein.
