by Anna Maria Jelmoli

Wir Frauen sind wie Quellen 
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wir Frauen sind wie Quellen unter Laub,
ihr Männer seid die Wanderer,
die sich dürstend nahn uns zu erschließen,
dann zieht ihr singend weiter.

Befruchtet sind die Täler dieser Erde
von allen Quellen, die da ewig weinen
und dort mit schlicht hingebender Geberde1
im Meere der Vergessenheit sich einen.

Wir Frauen sind wie Quellen unter Laub!
