by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)
Vice versa
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein Hase sitzt auf einer Wiese, des Glaubens, niemand sähe diese. Doch, im Besitze eines Zeisses, betrachtet voll gehaltnen Fleißes vom vis-a-vis gelegnen Berg ein Mensch den kleinen Löffelzwerg. Ihn aber blickt hinwiederum ein Gott von fern an, mild und stumm.
