Between heaven and earth?
No one has ever crossed my path.
But your face warms my world,
All blossoming stems from you.
When you look at me
My heart turns sweetness.
Underneath your smile I learn
To prepare day and night,
To conjure you up and make you fade.
The one game that I always play.
Else Lasker-Schuler (1869 – 1945) Germany
Translated by Johannes Beilharz
