by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)
Im Waldesfrieden
Language: German (Deutsch)
Tiefer, tiefer Waldesfrieden, Lenzdurchrauschte Einsamkeit, Wie du meiner Seele Pforten, Die in Sorgen eng geworden, Oeffnest nun so weit, so weit. Sehnend suche ich im Laube Deiner Schritte sanfte Spur, Möchte, aus mir selbst entlassen, Deine lieben Hände fassen, Sonnig lächelnde Natur.
