by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863 - 1920)

Dichters Arbeitslied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Geh hin, mein Blick, über die grünen Bäume!
Da huscht ein Vogel, der nimmt dich mit,
Märchenvogel Edelschwarz.

Bleib nicht zu lange im Reich der blauen Träume!
Hier rasten Menschen am Straßenrand,
ihre Hände sind vom Alltag schwarz.

Bring ihnen her den Abglanz der freien Räume!
Sie möchten alle gern in ein Märchenland,
ihr Sonntagskleid ist edelschwarz.

Confirmed with Richard Dehmel, Gedichte, Project Gutenberg
