by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962)
Holder Schein, an deine Spiele
Language: German (Deutsch)
Holder Schein, an deine Spiele Sieh mich willig hingegeben; Andre haben Zwecke, Ziele, Mir genügt es schon, zu leben. Gleichnis will mir alles scheinen, Was mir je die Sinne rührte, Des Unendlichen und Einen, Das ich stets lebendig spürte. Solche Bilderschrift zu lesen, Wird mir stets das Leben lohnen, Denn das Ewige, das Wesen, Weiß ich in mir selber wohnen.
