Chapter 39 wanderer of the world
wanderer of the world
tell me, star, your bright wings
Lifted high in the flight of your fire,
In which cave in the night
You just folded your wings?
Tell me, moon, you are pale and weak,
Wandering on the way to heaven,
Where do you want to be day or night
To be at peace?
O weary wind, you are wandering,
Like guests banished from the world,
you still have a secret lair
On a tree or a wave?
1820
