by Raoul von Dombrowski (1833 - 1896)

Ich schaue still und sinnend zu
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich schaue still und sinnend zu, 
Wie mir der Abendsonne Strahlen 
An's Wandgetäfel im Gemach 
So wunderbare Schatten malen.  

Wie glühend sie im hellen Glanz 
An breiten, mächtigen Geweihen, 
Am abgewelkten "Bruch" noch ruh'n 
Und an der Waffen starren Reihen.  

Ich schaue still und sinnend zu, 
Wie sie sich scheidend niedersenken, 
Wie nach und nach sie matt verglüh'n, 
An manchem lieben Angedenken!
