by Joseph, Freiherr von Hammer-Purgstall (1774 - 1856)

Hauch und Wort
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Nie Nacht lag leblos auf der Erde,
Da kam von deinem Hauche Duft, 
Der Leben gab dem Geist des Morgens,
So daß er weht als Morgenluft.

Die Wasser lagen ohne Leben,
Da kam ein Wort aus deinem Mund,
Das Wassern Seele bat gegeben,
So ward der Quell des Lebens kund.
