Original lyrics
Swallow Flight
I love my hour of wind and light,
I love men's faces and their eyes,
I love my spirit's veering flight
Like swallows under evening skies.

Translation
Schwalbenflug
Ich liebe meine Stunde von Wind und Licht,
Ich liebe der Menschen Augen und Gesicht,
Ich liebe meines Geistes wendigen Flug
Wie Schwalben am Himmel beim Vogelzug.

Charles-A. Sainte-Beuve, den kannt' ich zwar nicht,
Doch war sein Diktum wohl nicht ohne Gewicht.
So horcht' ich denn fragend in mich hinein
Und hörte eine leise Stimme, ganz fein:
"Wir sind jetzt zu alt, also lass es sein..."
Nichtsdestotrotz: Lieben Dank, Verula! :D
Ein gelungener Weg mit Metrum und Reim -
man gebe ihm fünf Sterne anheim.
Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
