by Georg Trakl (1887 - 1914)
Du bist der Wein, der trunken macht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du bist der Wein, der trunken macht, Nun blüh ich hin in süßen Tänzen Und muß mein Leid mit Blumen kränzen! So will's dein tiefster Sinn, o Nacht! Ich bin die Harfe in deinem Schoß, Nun ringt um meine letzten Schmerzen Dein dunkles Lied in meinem Herzen Und macht mich ewig, wesenlos.
