by Richard Braungart (1872 - 1963)

Ein Paar
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Schweigend geht die junge Frau
An dem Arm des greisen Gatten,
Ein getreuer, stummer Schatten,
Durch die sommergrüne Au.

Sehnend irrt ihr weher Blick
Über Felder, Busch und Wiesen,
Wo die bunten Blumen sprießen,
Scheu zum Gatten dann zurück.

Doch der Alte, morsch und müd,
Blöde starrt er in die Weite,
Ohne Ahnung, daß zur Seite
Ewig ihm die Sehnsucht blüht.
