Philoktet
Language:
German
Da sitz ich ohne Bogen und starre in den Sand.
Was tat ich dir Ulysses, daß du sie mir entwandt?
Die Waffe, die den Trojern des Todes Bote war,
Die auf der wüsten Insel mir Unterhalt gebar.
Es rauschen Vogelschwärme mir über'm greisen Haupt;
Ich greife nach dem Bogen, umsonst, er ist geraubt!
Aus dichtem Busche raschelt der braune Hirsch hervor:
Ich strecke leere Arme zur Nemesis empor.
Du schlauer König, scheue der Göttin Rächerblick!
Erbarme dich und stelle den Bogen mir zurück.
