by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863 - 1920)

Warnung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Mein Hund, du, hat dich bloß beknurrt,
Und ich hab' ihn vergiftet;
Und ich hasse jeden Menschen,
Der Zwietracht stiftet.

Zwei blutrote Nelken 
Schick' ich dir, mein Blut du,
An der einen eine Knospe;
Den dreien sei gut, du, 
Bis ich komme.

Ich komme heute Nacht noch;
Sei allein, sei allein du!
Gestern, als ich ankam,
Starrtest du mit Jemand
Ins Abendrot hinein -- Du:
Denk an meinen Hund!
