Sommer unter kalkgetünchten Bogen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sommer unter kalkgetünchten Bogen, Vergilbtes Korn, ein Vogel der ein und aus fliegt Abend und die dunklen Gerüche des Grüns. Roter Mensch, aufdämmerndem Weg, wohin? Über einsamen Hügel, vorbei am knöchernen Haus Über die Stufen des Walds tanzt das silberne Herz.
