by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)
Zierlich ist des Vogels Tritt im Schnee
Language: German (Deutsch)
Zierlich ist des Vogels Tritt im Schnee, wenn er wandelt auf des Berges Höh': zierlicher schreibt Liebchens liebe Hand, schreibt ein Brieflein mir ins ferne Land. In die Lüfte hoch ein Reiher steigt, dahin weder Pfeil noch Kugel fleugt: Tausendmal so hoch und so geschwind die Gedanken treuer Liebe sind.
