by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

Liebesflug
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Drei Stürme liebt ich ihn eher, wie er mich,
Jäh schrien seine Lippen,
Wie der geöffnete Erdmund!
Und Gärten berauschten an Mairegen sich.

Und wir griffen unsere Hände,
Die verlöteten wie Ringe sich,
Und er sprang mit mir auf die Lüfte
Gotthin, bis der Atem verstrich.

Dann kam ein leuchtender Sommertag,
Wie eine glückselige Mutter,
Und die Mädchen blickten schwärmerisch,
Nur meine Seele lag müd und zag.
