Melancholy..



Sommer

Am Abend schweigt die Klage
des Kuckucks im Wald.
Tiefer neigt sich das Korn,
der rote Mohn.

Schwarzes Gewitter droht
ueber dem Huegel.
Das alte Lied der Grille
erstirbt im Feld.

Nimmer regt sich das Laub
der Kastanie.
Auf der Wendeltreppe
rauscht dein Kleid.

Stille leuchtet die Kerze
im dunklen Zimmer;
eine silberne Hand
loeschte sie aus;

windstille, sternlose Nacht.

Flown away is the gold of the days,
The evening's brown and blue colors:
The shepherd's soft flutes have died,
The evening's brown and blue colors,
Flown away is the gold of the days.

Georg Trakl
Austrian poet (Salzburg 1887-1914)

  5. You are BACK, Monica, and it is wayyyy late for me to weigh in here. Welcome back!

    The Night with no wind, and no stars: this leads me to meditation, introspection. Thank you for Georg Trakl...

    PEACE!
