by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
Glaubt mir, daß ich, matt vom Kranken
Language: German (Deutsch)
Glaubt mir, daß ich, matt vom Kranken, keinen lauten Lenz mehr mag, will nur einen sonnenblanken, wipfelroten Frühherbsttag. Will die Lust, die jubelschrille, nicht mehr in die Brust zurück, will nur Sterbestubenstille drinnen - für mein totes Glück.
