by Ernst Lissauer (1882 - 1937)

Turmuhren
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mahnt die eine Turmuhr, ferne: es ist Zeit!
Antwort giebt die andre: komm, ich bin bereit.

Warnt der Ernst der Ersten dumpf und wuchtig drein,
Singt die Andre heiter wie ein Jungfräulein.

Wenn der Ruf der Einen weit in Schmerz ertost,
Träumt das Wort der Zweiten drein wie linder Trost.

Ton an Ton gekettet, Ton in Ton gereiht,
Arm in Arm, Geschwister, ziehn sie durch die Zeit.
