by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Sturmeswerben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Hei, wie er tobt!
Wie er die nackten,
Sehnigen Schultern
Wild an die zitternden Scheiben stemmt.
Wie er ruft,
Wie er lockt!
   Auf dem Tische das Flämmchen
   Huscht hin und her,
   Als ob es gescheucht,
   Verängstigt wär,
   Und die Rose im Glase
   Strömt schweren Duft
   In die dumpfe,
   Brütende Kammerluft.
Was willst du von mir,
Du trotz'ger Geselle?
Was schaust du mit irren,
Glühenden Augen
In meine einsame
Kammer hinein?
Dein soll ich sein,
Mit dir wandern?
   Wohl thät ich's gern,
   Denn mein Blut ist heiß,
   Doch will ich dir sagen,
   Was Keiner weiß:
   In Liebe bin ich
   Und süßer Noth,
   In Sehnsucht, Jubel.
   In Lust und Tod --
      Eines Andern!
