Edith Södergran: Mitt liv, min död och mitt öde

Edith Södergran

(1892-1923)

 

Mitt liv, min död och mitt öde

 

Jag är ingenting än en omätlig vilja,

en omätlig vilja, men vartill, vartill?

Allting är mörker omkring mig,

jag kan ej lyfta ett halmstrå.

Min vilja vill blott ett, men detta känner icke jag.

När min vilja bryter fram, skall jag dö:

var hälsad mitt liv, min död och mitt öde.
