by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962)

Bist allein im Leeren
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Bist allein im Leeren,
Glühst einsam, Herz,
Grüßt dich am Abgrund
Dunkle Blume Schmerz.

Reckt seine Äste
Der hohe Baum Leid,
Singt in den Zweigen
Vogel Ewigkeit.

Blume Schmerz ist schweigsam,
Findet kein Wort,
Der Baum wächst bis in die Wolken,
Und der Vogel singt immerfort.
