Jussuf
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Glühe nur, Südwind! Hauche versengend Ueber der Wüste Dürstendes Gras; -- Brennst doch so heiß nicht, Glühst nicht so sengend, Wie mir die Rache Senget das Herz ab Um des Erschlagnen Blut. Turan, wie klaffen Roth Deine Wunden! Gegen den Mörder Klaffen sie roth! Dürstend nach Rache Trauert die Lanze; Heute noch will ich Festlich sie kleiden In des Verräthers Blut.
