Venedig

Sieh, Desdemonens Haus und die umflorten Brücken,
Von Wassers Feuchte und des Mondenlichts
Und Geisterschritten,--
Da ist es wieder.
Nur jener schmalen Augen Meeresschimmer,
Die über mich und mein Entzücken
Und Marmorschleier, Taubenglanzgefieder
So zärtlich zweifelnd, unverführbar glitten,
Als sagten sie: "Nichts, -- nichts, --"
Erlosch auf immer.

by Ricarda Octavia Huch (1864-1947) , "Venedig"
