Meine frühverliehnen Lieder
Language: German (Deutsch)
Meine frühverliehnen Lieder oft in der Ruh überrankter Ruinen sang ich dem Abend sie zu. Hätte sie gerne zu Ronden aneinandergereiht einer erwachsenen Blonden als Geschenk und Geschmeid. Aber unter allen war ich einzig allein; und so ließ ich sie fallen: sie verrollten wie lose Korallen weit in den Abend hinein.
