Sprich nicht immer

Sprich nicht immer
Von dem laub,
Windes raub;
Vom zerschellen
Reifer quitten,
Von den tritten
Der vernichter
Spät im jahr.
Von dem zittern
Der libellen
In gewittern,
Und der lichter,
Deren flimmer
Wandelbar.

by Stefan George (1868-1933) , no title, from Das Buch der hängenden Gärten
