Klage

by

Georg Trakl


Dreamless sleep — the dusky Eagles

nightlong rush about my head,

man's golden image drowned

in timeless icy tides. On jagged reefs

his purpling body. Dark

echoes sound above the seas.


Stormy sadness' sister, see

our lonely skiff sunk down

by starry skies:

the silent face of night.



Go Back
