by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)
Am grauen Strand, am grauen Meer
Language: German (Deutsch)
Am grauen Strand, am grauen Meer und seitab liegt die Stadt; der Nebel drückt die Dächer schwer und durch die Stille braust das Meer eintönig um die Stadt. Es rauscht kein Wald, es schlägt im Mai kein Vogel ohn' Unterlaß: die Wandergans mit hartem Schrei nur fliegt in Herbstesnacht vorbei, am Strande weht das Gras. Doch hängt mein ganzes Herz an dir, du graue Stadt am Meer; der Jugend Zauber für und für ruht lächelnd doch auf dir, auf dir, du graue Stadt am Meer.
