TO YOU, by ELSE LASKER-SCHULER Poet's Biography First Line: I weep / that at your kiss I feel Last Line: And flow, scarce heeded, through your blood. | |||
I weep That at your kiss I feel Nothing, And I must sink into emptiness. A thousand chasms reveal No depth, No void like this. I wonder, in night's narrowest dark, How I might tell you, very low, Yet ever my courage fails. I would a wind came out of the south To bear it to you, so That it would not sound cold to you, But touch your soul, as warm words do, And flow, scarce heeded, through your blood. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY LOVE SONG (TO SASHA, THE HEAVENLU PRINCE) by ELSE LASKER-SCHULER PALM SONG by ELSE LASKER-SCHULER RECONCILIATION (TO MY MOTHER) by ELSE LASKER-SCHULER NEARER by ROBERT MALISE BOWYER NICHOLS TRIOLET: THOSE VIOLETS BLUE by H.
