In einen brennenden Abendhimmel

by Arno Holz




n einen brennenden Abendhimmel,
aus Staub und Dunkel,
steigt der Dom.

Die kleinen Linden stehen schwarz,
vor ihren Thüren sitzen alte Leute.

Feierabend!

Die Gassen schweigen.

Die Gluth erlischt,
am Himmel
leise
ziehen die ewigen Sterne auf.




nto an evening sky
burning with dusk and darkness,
the cathedral rises.

The bells are tolling.

Small lime trees stand, darkly,
old people sit outside their houses.

Evening!

The cobbled streets are quieting.
The embers die,
and quietly into the sky
the eternal stars are rising.
