Des Julis Symphonie aus Licht

Orange - hahnenfrüh entsteigt die ries’ge Sommersonne
Ihrem orientalischen Bett in einer anderen Welt
Im Erwachen streckt sie sich – voll leiser Wonne
Vor’m großen Aufstieg am pastellenem Himmelszelt.

Über Blüten perlen kristalline winz’ge Wassertropfen
Kühl atmen Weiher’s Wiesen nachtfrischen Morgentau
Fein säuselt Wind durch Seegras, Bambus, Hopfen
Noch schmeckt die Luft ganz süß und frühlingslau.
