Elis, wenn die Amsel im schwarzen Wald ruft
Dieses ist dein Untergang
Deinen Lippen trinken die kühle des blauen Felsenquells

Lass, wenn deine Stirne leise blutet
Uralte Legenden
Und dunkle Deutung des Vogelflugs

Du aber gehst mit weichen Schritten durch die Nacht
Die voll purpurner Trauben hängt
Und du regst die Arme schöner im Blau

Ein Dornbusch tönt
Wo deine modernden Augen sind
O, wie lange bist, Elis, du verstorben

Auf deine Schläfen tropft schwarzer Tau
Das letzte Gold verfallner Sterne

Dein Leib ist eine Hyazinthe
In die ein Mönch seine Finger taucht
Eine schwarze Höhle ist unser Schweigen

Daraus bisweilen
Ein sanftes Tier tritt
Und langsam die schweren Lider senkt

Auf deine Schläfen tropft schwarzer Tau
Das letzte Gold verfallner Sterne
Auf deine Schläfen tropft schwarzer Tau
Das letzte Gold verfallner Sterne
