Friede
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Bäume lauschen dem Regenbogen, Tauquelle grünt in junge Stille, Drei Lämmer weiden ihre Weiße, Sanftbach schlürft Mädchen in sein Bad. Rotsonne rollt sich abendnieder, Flaumwolken ihr Traumfeuer sterben. Dunkel über Flut und Flur. Frosch-Wanderer springt großen Auges, Die graue Wiese hüpft leis mit. Im tiefen Brunnen klingen meine Sterne. Der Heimwehwind weht gute Nacht.
Confirmed with Deutsche Lyrik seit Liliencron, herausgegeben von Hans Bethge, Leipzig: Hesse & Becker Verlag, 1921, pp. 61-62.
