by Georg Trakl (1887 - 1914)
Zu Abend mein Herz
Language: German (Deutsch)
Am Abend hört man den Schrei der Fledermäuse. Zwei Rappen springen auf der Wiese. Der rote Ahorn rauscht. Dem Wanderer erscheint die kleine Schenke am Weg. Herrlich schmecken junger Wein und Nüsse. Herrlich: betrunken zu taumeln in dämmernden Wald. Durch schwarzes Geäst tönen schmerzliche Glocken. Auf das Gesicht tropft Tau.
