The Wanderer speaking to Death
Friday 20th February 2009
by Herman Hesse
You will come to me too one day,
You will not forget me,
And the torment ends,
And the fetter breaks.
Still, you seem strange and far,
Dear brother Death,
You stand like a cold star
Above my trouble.
But some day you will be near
And full of flames.
Come, beloved, I am here,
Take me, I am yours.
