Venedig
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sieh, Desdemonens Haus und die umflorten Brücken, Von Wassers Feuchte und des Mondenlichts Und Geisterschritten,-- Da ist es wieder. Nur jener schmalen Augen Meeresschimmer, Die über mich und mein Entzücken Und Marmorschleier, Taubenglanzgefieder So zärtlich zweifelnd, unverführbar glitten, Als sagten sie: "Nichts, -- nichts, --" Erlosch auf immer.
