by Robert Graf (1878 - 1952)

Vita somnium breve
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich gehe sehnend, hoffend auf die Abendstunden.
Wie dann die Träume tiefer werden
Und schwerer duftend ihre Rosenblüten
Und heller ihre stillen Kinderaugen,
Dann kann ich in den blauen Sternengärten
Mir schattendunkle Schlösser bauen,
Kann Blumen schwellen sehen ohne Sonne
Und tief die Wunde meines Herzens bluten lassen.
