by Georg Trakl (1887 - 1914)
Abend in Lans
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wanderschaft durch dämmernden Sommer An Bündeln vergilbten Korns vorbei. Unter getünchten Bogen, Wo die Schwalbe aus und ein flog, tranken wir feurigen Wein. Schön: o Schwermut und purpurnes Lachen. Abend und die dunklen Düfte des Grüns Kühlen mit Schauern die glühende Stirne uns. Silberne Wasser rinnen über die Stufen des Walds, Die Nacht und sprachlos ein vergessenes Leben. Freund; die belaubten Stege ins Dorf.
Note: this is the second version of the poem (2. Fassung)
