About This Book

The volume gathers lyric poems ranging from intimate love meditations and psychological monologues to mythic and religious scenes, often balancing sensual longing with ethical or spiritual reflection. Imagery of nature, celestial light, dreams, and bodily sensation recurs, and many pieces stage inner dialogues or visionary awakenings that probe desire, guilt, and consolation. Formal variety includes short lyrics, ballads, dramatic monologues, and occasional longer sequences; a distinct section presents verse for children with playful, narrative vignettes. Overall the collection maps shifting moods—erotic intensity, existential unrest, tenderness, and resignation—through dense, image-driven language and recurring motifs of ascent, fall, and renewal.

Leitlied

Öffne still die Fensterscheibe,
die der volle Mond erhellt;
zwischen uns liegt Berg und Feld
und die Nacht, in der ich schreibe.
Aber öffne nur die Scheibe,
schau voll über Berg und Feld,
und hell siehst du, was ich schreibe,
an den Himmel schreibe: Wir Welt!
