by Arno Hermann Oscar Alfred Holz (1863 - 1929)

In welken Kronen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
In welken Kronen wiegt sich ... der Herbst. Purpurne Blätter schweben, schwanken ... schaukeln, trägkreiseln, fallen. Nebel webt schon, Krähen krächzen. Stare sammeln sich ... Drosseln ... ziehen ... Wildgänse wandern. Noch einmal, kühlblass, müde scheint die ... Sonne. Am stillen See, auf der kleinen Brücke, über das alte, krumme, morschmoosige Balkengeländer gelehnt, unter den dunklen, riesigen, schlangenbunt sich verästelnden Platanen, versunken, einsam ... lange, stehe ich, starre ... und ... träume in ein gespiegeltes, seltsam fantastisches, wie unirdisches, märchenhaftes, zauberhaftes Paradies!
