by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

Mit‑Erwacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dein Wunsch war immer--fliegen!
Nun naht dir die Erfüllung.

Du wirst den Raum besiegen,
nach jener Weltenthüllung,
die uns zu Freien machte
vom Schlaf der blinden Runden.

Nun hast du, Mit-Erwachte,
dein Schwingenkleid gefunden!

Confirmed with Christian Morgenstern, Wir fanden einen Pfad. Gedichte, München: R. Piper & Co Verlag, 1966, page 28
