by Maria Luise Weissmann (1899 - 1929)

Einmal aber werde ich sein
Language: English 
Einmal aber werde ich sein.
Ganz plötzlich. Wie von einem Stern
Der helle Stein zur Erde fällt,
Wird tief mein Name in ihn fallen.

Der vordem ging durch alle Gärten schwer
Und träumte mich, gab mir Gesicht
Und Leib und Lächeln, als er gläubig rief:
Ich fand mich atmen.
Und erstaunte tief.
