Frank Wedekind: Der Gefangene

Frank Wedekind

(1864-1918)

Der Gefangene

 

Oftmals hab ich nachts im Bette

Schon gegrübelt hin und her,

Was es denn geschadet hätte,

Wenn mein Ich ein andrer wär.

Höhnisch raunten meine Zweifel

Mir die tolle Antwort zu:

Nichts geschadet, dummer Teufel,

Denn der andre wärest du!

Hilflos wälzt ich mich im Bette

Und entrang mir dies Gedicht,

Rasselnd mit der Sklavenkette,

Die kein Denker je zerbricht.
