by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Dank des Paria
Language: German (Deutsch)
Großer Brahma! Nun erkenn ich, Daß du Schöpfer bist der Welten! Dich als meinen Herrscher nenn ich; Denn du läßest alle gelten. Und verschließest auch dem Letzten Keines von den tausend Ohren; Uns, die tief herabgesetzten, Alle hast du neu geboren. Wendet euch zu dieser Frauen, Die der Schmerz zur Göttin wandelt! Nun beharr ich anzuschauen Den, der einzig wirkt und handelt.
