by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863 - 1920)

Erleuchtung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Plötzlich tut, was dunkel war,
dir sich grund und offenbar;
und dann kannst du nicht verstehen,
dass du sonst es nicht gesehen.

Aus dem Grund der Welt durch dich
offenbart der Welt es sich;
aus der Ewigkeit geboren
bleibt es ewig unverloren.
