by Friedrich von Schlegel (1772 - 1829)
Die Gebüsche
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es wehet kühl und leise Die Luft durch dunkle Auen, Und nur der Himmel lächelt Aus tausend hellen Augen. Es regt nur Eine Seele Sich in [der Meere]1 Brausen, Und in den leisen Worten, Die durch die Blätter rauschen. So tönt in Welle Welle, Wo Geister heimlich trauren; So folgen Worte Worten, Wo Geister Leben hauchen. Durch alle Töne tönet Im bunten Erdentraume [Ein]2 leiser Ton gezogen, Für den, der heimlich lauschet.
