Liebe

A silk woven zephyr
rushes through our sleep,
like throbbing blossom
that covers us both.

And I'm carried home
in the weave of your breath,
through magical tales
and mournful legends.

And my gorsed smile plays
with your deep-rooted features,
and the earth comes up
to nestle against us.

It rushes through our sleep
like a silk woven zephyr—
a world-weary dream
that blesses us both.
Else Laske-Schüler (1869-1945)
