by Albert Sergel (1876 - 1946)

Sommersegen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wir gehen durch goldenes Ährenfeld
und wissen tief zu schweigen . .
Die Sonne sinkt. Im Abendwind 
sich schwer die Halme neigen. 

Dein dunkles Auge glänzt und weilt
in Purpurwolkenweiten, 
und deine Hand streiſt über das Korn 
sacht im Vorüberschreiten.

So sacht, als wenn sie glückverträumt 
strich über ein Kinderbette 
und alles Glück der weiten Welt 
nun süß zu eigen hätte . .

Confirmed with Saat und Ernte. Die deutsche Lyrik unserer Tage in Selbstauswahlen der Dichter und Dichterinnen, Mit kurzen Eigenbiographien und Angabe ihrer Werke herausgegeben von Albert Sergel, Berlin und Leipzig: Deutsches Verlagshaus Bong & Co., [1924], page 258.
