Hermann Hagedorn Poems
- 1. Song Is So Old
Song is so old,
Love is so new-
Let me be still
And kneel to you.
... - 2. Prayer During Battle
Lord, in this hour of tumult,
Lord, in this night of fears,
Keep open, oh, keep open
My eyes, my ears.
... - 3. Doors
Like a young child who to his mother's door
Runs eager for the welcoming embrace,
And finds the door shut, and with troubled face
Calls and through sobbing calls, and o'er and o'er
... - 4. Departure
My true love from her pillow rose
And wandered down the summer lane.
She left her house to the wind's carouse,
And her chamber wide to the rain.
...
