Auf See

Doch hatte niemals tiefere Macht dein Blick,
als du da, Abschied fühlend, still am Ufer 
standest, schwandest; nur [Dein Auge]1
blieb und bebte über [den Wassern]2.

Dunkel folgte der Schein den leuchtenden Furchen;
und ich sah den [Schaum]3 der tiefen Flut,
sah dein weisses Kleid zerfliessen:
du [stumme]4 Seele! --

by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863-1920) , "Schutz", from Erlösungen, in Zur dritten Stufe: Leben und Arbeit, published 1893
