Quellen, sie münden herauf
Language: German (Deutsch)
Quellen, sie münden herauf, beinah zu eilig Was treibt aus Gründen herauf, heiter und heilig? Lässt dort im Edelstein Glanz sich breiten, um uns am Wiesenrain schlicht zu begleiten. Wir, was erwidern wir Solcher Gebärde? Ach, wie zergliedern wir Wasser und Erde.
