Zwei Segel

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CHI FRE

Zwei Segel erhellend
Die tiefblaue Bucht!
Zwei Segel sich schwellend
Zu ruhiger Flucht!

Wie eins in den Winden
Sich wölbt und bewegt,
Wird auch das Empfinden
Des andern erregt.

Begehrt eins zu hasten,
Das andre geht schnell,
Verlangt eins zu rasten,
Ruht auch sein Gesell.

Confirmed with Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Gedichte, Leipzig: H. Haessel, 1882, page 150. Appears in 5. Liebe.
