Georg Trakl - On the Marshy Pastures

Georg Trakl - On the Marshy Pastures

A man who walks in the black wind; the dry reeds br rustle quietly br Through the silence of the marshy pastures. In br the grey skies br A migration of wild birds move in ranks br Catty-corner over dark waters. br Insurgence. In the collapsing houses br Decay is ?uttering out with black wings; br Crippled-up birches breathe heavily in the wind. br Evening in empty roadhouses. The longing for home br settles about br The delicate despair of the grazing ?ocks, br Vision of the night: toads plunge from silver waters.
