In the evening the sky was overcast. <br /> <br />And through the grove full of silence and grief <br /> <br />A dark-golden shower went. <br /> <br />Distant evening bells faded away. <br /> <br />The earth has drunk icy water, <br /> <br />At the forest's edge a fire lay glowing, <br /> <br />The wind quietly sang with angel's voices <br /> <br />And shivering I have gone to the knee, <br /> <br />In the heather, in bitter cresses. <br /> <br />Far outside clouds swam in silver puddles, <br /> <br />Desolate guards of love. <br /> <br />The heath was lonesome and unmeasured.<br /><br />Georg Trakl<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-evening-9/
