Stefan Anton George

1868-1933 / Germany

Visit

Sun with a mellower fall
Plot of your garden edges,
Slants through the house in hedges
Down through gaps in the wall.

Birds are astir on the grass,
Twigs of bushes are blowing,
After the daystar's glowing
Fares now again pass.

Fill then the bucket straightway!
Shower the gravel and osiers,
Flowers unfolding in closures,
Wall-bloom and rose asway!

And near the bricks by the seat,
Break the ivy too lavish!
Buds for a carpet ravish!
Cool be the air and sweet
