by Stefan Zweig (1881 - 1942)
Graues Land
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wolken in dämmernder Röte droh'n über dem einsamen Feld. Wie ein Mann mit trauriger Flöte geht der Herbst durch die Welt. Du kannst seine Nähe nicht fassen, nicht lauschen der Melodie. Und doch: in dem fahlen Verblassen der Felder fühlst du sie.
