by Alfred Mombert (1872 - 1942)

Das ist nicht Zeit, die in mein Ohr...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Das ist nicht Zeit, die in mein Ohr dringt.
Da ist ein Glänzender, der machtvoll singt.
Über meine Augen Wolken ziehn,
o Luft und weite Wolken!
Das nimmt mich ganz in die Heimat hin.
Einen Adler hör' ich rauschend folgen;
und Höhn und Tiefen sind voll Melodien.
 
Ich schau' ein Haupt, schau' in ein Auge.
In diesem Auge flammt eine neue große Fackel.
Ich greife nach der Fackel --
-- "Vielleicht glückt es: du verirrst dich im Feuer,
-- "und gelangst in die Urschlucht des Daseins" . . .
