Franz Werfel World Poems
- 1. The Snowfall
Oh the slow fall of snow,
Its unending blanketing swirl!
Yet my mind's eye was giving shape
To what couldn't be kept hidden,
... - 2. I'm Still Just A Child
O Lord, tear me to pieces.
I'm still just a child.
And dare to sing
And call upon you
... - 3. The Patient
The patient looks outs into the garden burning
With Christmas* stars of vermillion fire.
They flower, he feels, nicely on that bush together,
But he is no longer akin to himself.
...
