Blau sinkt der Abend
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Unknown Language
Blau sinkt der Abend herab, blau sinkt der Abend. (Die Eule spricht:) Vor meinen Augen färbt sich der Abend rot. Ich fliege aus und schreie einmal, zweimal, dreimal, viermal. Überall, wohin ich blicke, die seidenen Maisfäden tanzen.
