by Georg Trakl (1887 - 1914)
Mein armes Lächeln, das um dich rang
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mein armes Lächeln, das um dich rang, Mein schluchzendes Lied im Dunkel verklang. Nun will mein Weg zu Ende gehn. Laß treten mich in deinen Dom Wie einst, ein Tor, einfältig, fromm, Und stumm anbetend vor dir stehn.
