by Thusnelda Wolff-Kettner (1877 - 1928)

Zwischen Tag und Dunkel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hauchzart, ein feines Sichlein, steht der Mond
Im grün verblaßten Blau der Himmelsferne.
Verstohlen blinzeln durch den Silberglanz
Der Federwölkchen schon die ersten Sterne.

Aus grauen Gassen hebt sich feierlich,
Vom Schleierduft der Dämmrung leicht umzogen,
Der Türme vielgestaltig Wunderwerf
Hoch in den abendblauen Kuppelbogen.

Und alles ist so seltsam gläsern klar
Wenn in den Türmen hell die Uhren klingen,
Scheint traumhaft, wie von Geisterhand berührt,
Des Himmels blaue Glocke mitzuschwingen.
