by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)
Language: German (Deutsch)
Zierlich ist des Vogels Tritt im Schnee, Wenn er wandelt auf des Berges Höh': Zierlicher schreibt Liebchens liebe Hand, Schreibt ein Brieflein mir in ferne Land'. In die Lüfte hoch ein Reiher steigt, Dahin weder Pfeil noch Kugel fleugt: Tausendmal so hoch und so geschwind Die Gedanken treuer Liebe sind.
