by Alfred Mombert (1872 - 1942)
Spaziergang
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sie wandeln durch des Waldes Grün. Vögel singen und Blumen blühn. Ein blasser Mann und ein stilles Kind. Sie schlürfen durstig den Frühlingswind. Und der Knabe [bleibt]1 verwundert stehn: "Ich glaub', ich kann die Mutter sehn." Sie starren in das junge Grün . . . Vögel singen und Blumen blühn.
