by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863 - 1920)
Klage
Language: German (Deutsch)
In diesen welken Tagen,
wo Alles bald zu Ende ist,
sturmzerfetzte Sonnenblumen
über dunkle Zäune ragen,
Wolken jagen
und den Boden flammenfarbne
Blätterstürze schlagen:
da müssen wir nun tragen,
was wir uns mußten sagen
[in]1 diesen welken Tagen.
