by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)

Nach neuen Meeren
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Dorthin - will ich; und ich traue
Mir fortan und meinem Griff.
Offen liegt das Meer, ins Blaue
Treibt mein Genueser Schiff.

Alles glänzt mir neu und neuer,
Mittag schläft auf Raum und Zeit -:
Nur dein Auge - ungeheuer
Blickt michs an, Unendlichkeit!
