by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)
Es rauscht durch unseren Schlaf
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Es rauscht durch unseren Schlaf Ein feines Wehen wie Seide, Wie pochendes Erblühen Über uns beide. Und ich werde heimwärts Von deinem Atem getragen, Durch verzauberte Märchen, Durch verschüttete Sagen. Und mein Dornenlächeln spielt Mit deinen urtiefen Zügen, Und es kommen die Erden Sich an uns zu schmiegen. Es rauscht durch unseren Schlaf Ein feines Wehen wie Seide – Der weltalte Traum Segnet uns beide.
