It was as if the sky
Franz Bendel
It was as if the sky
Had quietly kissed the earth,
So that, glistening with blossoms,
She must only dream of him.
The breeze wafted through the fields,
The ears of corn waved gently,
The forests rustled faintly,
So sparkling clear was the night.
And my soul stretched
its wings out far,
Flew through the still lands,
as if it were flying home.
