by John Henry Mackay (1864 - 1933)

Ein leiser Ton
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein leiser Ton --
Ein süßer Duft --
Gespürt -- und schon
Verweht zu Luft.

Der Schleppe Rauschen,
Ein treuer Blick,
Ein Händetauschen --
Wie kurz das Glück!

Zum Fenster lachte
Herein der Mai.
An was ich dachte?
-- Du gingst vorbei . . .
