by Otto Julius Bierbaum (1865 - 1910)

Andacht zu meiner Welt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In einem Haus, versteckt in Linden,
Durch die das Licht grüngolden fällt,
Will ich vergehen und verschwinden
Vor dem Gelärme dieser Welt.

Aus dieser Welt der Wutgrimassen,
In der der Zaum die Blöden hält,
Im Lieben dumpf und flau im Hassen,
Aus dieser lauten, leeren Welt.

Ich will mir eine andre bauen,
Von innerlichem Licht erhellt,
Und will in Andacht still beschauen
Die von mir selber ist, die Welt.
