by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)
Auf die jungen Rosensträucher
Language: German (Deutsch)
Auf die jungen Rosensträucher Fällt vom Himmel weicher Regen Und die Welt wird immer reicher. O mein Gott mein, nur alleine Ich verdurste und verweine In dem Segen. Engel singen aus den Höhen: »Heut ist Gottes Namenstag, Der all weiß von dem Geschehen.« Und ich kann es nicht verstehen, Da ich unter seinem Tag Oft so traurig erwach.
