Augenblicke gibt es, zage
Language: German (Deutsch)
Augenblicke gibt es, zage, wo so grabesstill die Heide, wo der Wald den Odem anhält wie in unnennbarem Leide, wo die Wasser klanglos rauschen, Blumenaugen ängstlich starren, und mir ist, als wär dies Leben eingeengt in banges Harren, und als müßt' in diese Stille nun ein Donnerschlag erklingen oder tief die Erd' erbeben oder mir das Herz zerreißen.
