SLEEPING THEY BEAR ME
by: Alfred Mombert (1872-1942)
- LEEPING
they bear me
- Into my homeland.
- From far away I come,
- Hither over peaks and chasms
- Over a dark ocean
- Into my homeland.
-
- Now that I have quelled the strongest of the giants,
- Out of the darkest land
- Won my way home,
- Led by a white fairy hand--
-
- Echo heavy the bells.
- And I stagger through the streets
- Sleep-bound.
