by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825 - 1898)
Zwei Segel
Language: German (Deutsch)
Zwei Segel erhellend Die tiefblaue Bucht! Zwei Segel sich schwellend Zu ruhiger Flucht! Wie eins in den Winden Sich wölbt und bewegt, Wird auch das Empfinden Des andern erregt. Begehrt eins zu hasten, Das andre geht schnell, Verlangt eins zu rasten, Ruht auch sein Gesell.
