by Hermann Allmers (1821 - 1902)
Feldeinsamkeit
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich ruhe still im hohen grünen Gras Und sende lange meinen Blick nach oben, Von Grillen rings umschwirrt ohn Unterlaß, Von Himmelsbläue wundersam umwoben. [Und schöne weiße]1 Wolken ziehn dahin Durchs tiefe Blau, wie schöne stille Träume; -- Mir ist, als ob ich längst gestorben bin, Und ziehe selig mit durch ew'ge Räume.
