by Richard von Schaukal (1874 - 1942)

Einmal!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Einmal in die Sonnenhelle 
Möcht' ich meine Seele heben! 
Einsam in der Gitterzelle 
Hör' ich ihre Sehnsucht beben. 

Hohes Glück, nur müde Strahlen
Wirfst du an die Kerkerwände.
An den Stäben riß in Qualen --
Und umsonst der Wunsch der Hände.
