by Stefan George (1868 - 1933)

Als neuling trat ich ein in dein gehege
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE ITA
Als neuling trat ich ein in dein gehege
Kein staunen war vorher in meinen mienen ·
Kein wunsch in mir eh ich dich blickte rege.
Der jungen hände faltung sieh mit huld ·
Erwähle mich zu denen die dir dienen
Und schone mit erbarmender geduld
Den der noch strauchelt auf so fremdem stege.
