by Friedrich Hölderlin (1770 - 1843)

Dem dunklen Blatte
Language: German (Deutsch) 
			Dem dunklen Blatte
                           Und es war
Das Wachstum vernehmlich
           und          der syrische Boden,
zerschmettert, und Flammen gleich unter den Sohlen
Es stach
Und der Ekel mich
Ankömmt vom wütenden Hunger
Friedrich mit der gebißnen Wange
Eisenach
Die ruhmvollen

Barbarossa
Der Konradin

Ugolino –
Eugen
Himmelsleiter
             Der Abschied der Zeit
                  und es scheiden im Frieden voneinander
