Friedrich Rückert


As fast as the simoon’s desert wind.	1
The stars slink off like thieves, in company with Night.	2
The words came sputtering out of his mouth like the beer from a barrel without a bung.	3
Time, like a seven-wheeled, seven-naved car, moves on. His rolling wheels are all the worlds, his axle is immortality.	4
Like the swift shadows of Noon, like the dreams of the blind, Vanish the glories and pomps of the earth in the wind.	5
