by Johannes Konrad Bernhard Bobrowski (1917 - 1965)

Der Wanderer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Abends,
der Strom ertönt,
der schwere Atem der Wälder,
Himmel, beflogen
von schreienden Vögeln, Küsten
der Finsternis, alt,
darüber die Feuer der Sterne.
 
Menschlich hab ich gelebt,
zu zählen vergessen die Tore,
die offenen. An die verschlossnen
hab ich gepocht.
Jedes Tor ist offen.
Der Rufer steht mit gebreitenen
Armen. So tritt an den Tisch.
Rede: die Wälder tönen,
den eratmenden Strom
durchfliegen die Fische, der Himmel
zittert von Feuern.
