The Desire of Seeing the City
Michael Drewes 1944 (Herzhausen)
Let me tell of houses
Nice and beautiful,
Stately mansions, slender
Steeples, mighty bridges,
Soothing parks and beauty
Wrought in wood and stone,
Rolling hills with forests
By the sea. It is the
Port where you arrived once
You have pried the ocean
On an even keel with
Bloated sail
When you see the verdant
Islands from afar.
