by Gerhart (Johann Robert) Hauptmann (1862 - 1946)
Im hellen Monde kämm' ich mein Haar
Language: German (Deutsch)
Im hellen Monde kämm' ich mein Haar und denke des, der mein Buhle einst war. Die Glockenblumen läuten. Läuten sie Glück? Läuten sie Qual? Beides zumal, dünkt mich, soll es bedeuten. Hinab! Hinab! - Die Zeit ist um - in Wasser und Tang! Ich blieb schon zu lang. Hinab! Hinab!
