Eisnacht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Wie in Seide ein Königskind schläft die Erde in lauter Schnee, blauer Mondscheinzauber spinnt schimmernd über der See. Aus den Wassern der Rauhreif steigt, Büsche und Bäume atmen kaum: durch die Nacht, die erschauernd schweigt, schreitet ein glitzernder Traum.
