Hans Leybold: Traum der Sehnsucht

leybold3

Hans Leybold
(1892-1914)

Traum der Sehnsucht

Wie oft hab ich meine Arme ausgebreitet
In der Nacht
Und hab gelegen
Und hab gewacht
Und hab gewartet auf dich …

Du musstest einmal kommen,
Und du kamst!
Du musstest kommen
Und du nahmst
All dies einsamgraue, öde Elend fort …

Du kamst wie ein Rosenhauch
In den Raum
Und knietest an meinem Bette –
Mir war’s wie ein Traum …
Und meine Arme schlossen sich
Sanft um deine gebeugte Gestalt.
Ich küsste Stirn dir und Haar,
Wieder und wieder … und mir war,
Als entzöge dich mir eine sanfte Gewalt …

Wo bliebst du … wo …?
Hart und roh
Schlägt mein Kopf an den Boden –!
