by Stefan George (1868 - 1933)

Entführung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zieh mit mir, geliebtes kind
In die wälder ferner kunde
Und behalt als angebind
Nur mein lied in deinem munde.

Baden wir im sanften blau
Der mit duft umhüllten grenzen:
Werden unsre leiber glänzen
Klarer scheinen als [der]1 tau.

In der luft [sich silbern fein]2
Fäden uns zu schleiern spinnen ·
Auf dem rasen bleichen linnen
Zart wie schnee und sternenschein.

Unter bäumen um den see
Schweben wir vereint uns freuend ·
Sachte singend · blumen streuend ·
Weiße nelken weißen klee.
