Mittagsruh See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Über Bergen, Fluß und Talen, Stiller Lust und tiefen Qualen Webet heimlich, schillert, Strahlen! Sinnend ruht des Tags Gewühle In der dunkelblauen Schwüle, Und die ewigen Gefühle, Was dir selber nicht bewußt, Treten heimlich, groß und leise Aus der Wirrung fester Gleise, Aus der unbewachten Brust, In die stillen, weiten Kreise.
