by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)
Ich bin am Ziel meines Herzens angelangt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich bin am Ziel meines Herzens angelangt. Weiter führt kein Strahl. Hinter mir laß ich die Welt. Fliegen die Sterne auf: Goldene Vögel. Hißt der Mondturm die Dunkelheit – .... O, wie mich leise eine süße Weise betönt … Aber meine Schultern heben sich, hochmütige Kuppeln.
