by Alfred Formey (1844 - 1901)

Ein Nest
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Nest im Gestäude
  Noch klammern ich seh’;
Im Bettlein der Freude
  Hoch lagert der Schnee.
 
Die ‘s kunstreich gebogen,
  Die ‘s kosend gewärmt:
Verzogen, verflogen!
  Verhungert, verhärmt!
 
Vom Lied und vom Lieben -
  O Weltschluss voll Weh! -
Auch hier nichts geblieben,
  Als Schauer und – Schnee.
