Theodor Storm poems
Theodor Storm(1817 - 1888 / Germany)
Knecht Ruprecht - Santa's Helper
- by Theodor Storm 39
I came here from the forestI tell you, it is a very holy night!
All over the tips of the firs
I saw bright flashes of golden light ...
Close Both My Eyes
- by Theodor Storm 36
Close both my eyeswith your beloved hands!
For everything I suffer
comes to rest under your hand.
And as the pain,
wave upon wave, gently lies down to sleep,
as the last heartbeat stirs,
you fill my whole heart.
