by Rudolf Georg Binding (1867 - 1938)

Feierlicher Reigen um eine Tote
Language: German (Deutsch) 
- - - Tod 
hat gebannt 
dich von dem 
was du warst. 

Wieder Kind 
bist du nun 
auf den lind-
esten Schuhn.

Erdwärts sinkst 
du und trinkst 
deiner Mutter 
Atem wieder. 

Rein und los 
fällst aufs neu 
du in deiner 
Mutter Schoß. 

Und von neuem 
ungeboren
bist von neuem 
unverloren. 

Süßer Raub! 
ins geheim 
aus dem Staub 
wirst du Keim. 

Von der Flamme 
kaum verascht 
bist vom Leben 
neu erhascht. 

Denn vom Mensch-
lichen läßt 
du dem Tod 
keinen Rest. 

Deines Leibs 
ganz verwaist 
bist vorm Tod 
du ganz Geist.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Rudolf Georg Binding, Im Insel-Verlag zu Leipzig, 1914, pages 101-102.
