by Robert Walser (1878 - 1956)

Am Fenster
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Zum Fenster sehe ich hinaus
Es ist so schön,
hinaus, es ist nicht viel.

Es ist ein wenig Schnee,
auf den es regnet jetzt.
Es ist ein schleichend Grün,
das in ein Dunkel schleicht.

Das Dunkel ist die Nacht,
die bald in aller Welt
auf allem Schnee wird sein,
auf allem Grün wird sein.

Hin schleicht sich freundlich Grün
ins Dunkel, ach wie schön.
Am Fenster sehe ich's.
