by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

Die Stimme
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Eine junge Mutter singt 
Eintönig ihrem Kind,
Ihr Sinn in ferne Zeiten rinnt,
Voraus, zurücke dringt,
Und mit dem Liede spielt der Wind...
Und trägts zu mir, und trägts zu dir, 
Daß es uns selber rührt und regt,
Als säng sie's dir, als säng sie's mir, 
Und laut in uns das Herze schlägt,
Als säng, was wir geworden sind,
Die Mutter dort eintönig 
Zum Wiegen in dem Wind.
