by Arno Hermann Oscar Alfred Holz (1863 - 1929)

Vorfrühling
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Noch stellt der Wald sich taub und tot,
noch blühen die Primeln nicht,
doch schlägt mein Herz schon so rot, so rot,
und meine Seele jauchzt: Licht!

Ja Licht, ja Licht, bis das Eis zerstiebt
und die Welt in Blüten versinkt
und mein rotrotes Herzblut verliebt, verliebt,
die Sonne, die Sonne trinkt!
