by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

Mich führte in die Wolke mein Geschick –
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mich führte in die Wolke mein Geschick –
Wir teilten säumerisch mein erdentschwertes Glück.

Ich dachte viel an Julihimmel –
Du sahst das Blau in meinem Blick.

Und schwebten mit den Vögeln auf
Ein Silberrausch .....
Bevor die Welt brach das Genick.

Und auch wir beide blieben nicht verschont
– Und träumen trübe unterm bleichen Rosenstrauch im Mond
Die Lande unter uns: verblichnes Mosaik.
