by Alfred Mombert (1872 - 1942)

Erlauschtes
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
   Ich hört' ein Stimmlein klingen
aus glühendem Rosenhag:

   „Meine Glieder sind weiß und schön.
Das sagen alle Blumen,
das sagen alle Vögel,
die mich einmal gesehn ...

   „Ich kann auch blühen und singen,
viel schöner als der Frühlingstag ...

   „Meine Mutter ist ein Kettenhund,
sie hält mir immer zu den Mund,
wenn ich blühen will und singen ...

   „Da Keiner knien will und schmachten,
thu' ich mich selber betrachten...

„Meine Glieder sind weiß und schön ...

„Meine Glieder sind weiß und schön"...

Confirmed with Alfred Mombert, Tag und Nacht. Gedichte, Heidelberg: Verlag von J. Hörning, 1894, page 45
