by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

Leise schwimmt der Mond durch mein Blut
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Leise schwimmt der Mond durch mein Blut …
Schlummernde Töne sind die Augen des Tages
Wandelhin – taumelher –

Ich kann deine Lippen nicht finden …
Wo bist du, ferne Stadt
Mit den segnenden Düften?

Immer senken sich meine Lider
Über die Welt – alles schläft.
