by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863 - 1920)

Durch die Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Und immer Du, dies dunkle Du,
und durch die Nacht dies hohle Sausen;
die Telegraphendrähte brausen,
ich schreite meiner Heimat zu.

Und Schritt für Schritt dies dunkle Du,
es scheint von Pol zu Pol zu sausen;
und tausend Worte hör ich brausen
und schreite stumm der Heimat zu.
