The bleak fields...

Beitrag von SLD »

Hi all,

Sorry for asking something that has undoubtedly come up before, but the search function is not very helpful.. I'm trying to find the original (German, I'm guessing!) poem that is the first in the 1918 book Poems: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/38 ... mages.html

Evening:

The bleak fields are asleep,
My heart alone wakes;
The evening in the harbour
Down his red sails takes.

Night, guardian of dreams,
Now wanders through the land;
The moon, a lily white,
Blossoms within her hand.

Any ideas? Thanks! S
