Das lockere saatgefilde lechzet krank

Das lockere saatgefilde lechzet krank
Da es nach hartem froste schon die lauern
Lenzlichter fühlte und der pflüge zähne
Und vor dem stoß der vorjahr-stürme keuchte:
Sei mir nun fruchtend bad und linder trank
Von deiner nackten brust das blumige schauern
Das duften deiner leichtgewirrten strähne
Dein hauch dein weinen deines mundes feuchte.

by Stefan George (1868-1933) , no title, from Der siebente Ring, in Gezeiten, no. 13
