Trompeten
Language: German (Deutsch)
Unter verschnittenen Weiden, wo braune Kinder spielen und Blätter treiben, tönen Trompeten. Ein Kirchhofsschauer. Fahnen von Scharlach stürzen durch des Ahorns Trauer, Reiter entlang an Roggenfeldern, leeren Mühlen. Oder Hirten singen nachts und Hirsche treten in den Kreis ihrer Feuer, des Hains uralte Trauer. Tanzende heben sich von einer schwarzen Mauer; Fahnen von Scharlach, Lachen, Wahnsinn, Trompeten.
