by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825 - 1898)

Abendrot im Walde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
In den Wald bin ich geflüchtet,  
Ein zu Tod gehetztes Wild,  
Da die letzte Glut der Sonne  
Längs den glatten Stämmen quillt.                             
Keuchend lieg ich. Mir zu Seiten  
Blutet, siehe, Moos und Stein -  
Strömt das Blut aus meinen Wunden?  
Oder ist's der Abendschein?
