by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)

Pinie und Blitz
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hoch wuchs ich über Mensch und Tier;
Und sprech ich - niemand spricht mit mir.

Zu einsam wuchs ich und zu hoch -
Ich warte: worauf wart′ ich doch?

Zu nah ist mir der Wolken Sitz, -
Ich warte auf den ersten Blitz.
