by Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger (1924 - 1942)

Den gelben Astern ein Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Sie blicken durch den Regen hell mich an
so licht, daß sie die Sonne mir ersetzen.
Und gar nichts von des Regens Trauer kann
die leuchtend gelbe Freude mir verletzen.
Auflachend neigen sie sich in dem Grün,
das rein und frisch ihr Lachen mir begleitet -
ich leg' ihnen mein Lied zu Füßen hin,
weil sie mir eine Freude heut bereitet.

Confirmed with Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger, Blütenlese. Gedichte, Herausgegeben von Adolf Rauchwerger, Tel Aviv: Telaviv University [Press], 1979, page 19.
