by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Sommerfäden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Choose for Diff
Der Sommer tollt ums Haus!
Er hascht sich mit dem Winde,
Der zupft dem schönen Kinde
Manch goldnes Härchen aus.

In hocherhobner Hand
Läßt er die Beute wehen --
Ich kann sie blitzen sehen,
Bald hier, bald dort im Land.

Ein Märlein fällt mir ein . .
Ach, daß die goldnen Schlingen
Mir meinen Liebsten fingen --
Wie wollt' ich selig sein!

Confirmed with Anna Ritter, Befreiung. Neue Gedichte, Fünfte Auflage, Stuttgart: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung Nachfolger, 1900, page 92.
