by Gottfried Benn (1886 - 1956)

Letzter Frühling
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nimm die Forthysien tief in dich hinein
und wenn der Flieder kommt, vermisch auch diesen
mit deinem Blut und Glück und Elend sein,
den dunklen Grund, auf den du angewiesen.
Langsame Tage. Alles überwunden.
Und fragst du nicht, ob Ende, ob Beginn,
dann tragen dich vielleicht die Stunden
noch bis zum Juni mit den Rosen hin.
