by Arno Hermann Oscar Alfred Holz (1863 - 1929)

Aus weissen Wolken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Aus weissen Wolken baut sich ein Schloss. Spiegelnde Seen, selige Wiesen, singende Brunnen aus tiefstem Smaragd! In seinen schimmernden Hallen wohnen die alten Götter. Noch immer, abends, wenn die Sonne purpurn sinkt, glühn seine Gärten, vor ihren Wundern bebt mein Herz und lange ... steh ich. Sehnsüchtig! Dann naht die Nacht, die Luft verlischt, wie zitterndes Silber blinkt das Meer, und über die ganze Welt hin weht ein Duft wie von Rosen.
