Hermann Hesse Quote
Without YouMy Pillow gazes upon me at nightEmpty as a gravestone;I never thought it would be so bitterTo be alone,Not to lie down asleep in your hair.I lie alone in a silent house,The hanging lamp darkened,And gently stretch out my handsTo gather in yours,And softly press my warm mouthToward you, and kiss myself, exhausted and weak-Then suddenly I'm awakeAnd all around me the cold night grows still.The star in the window shines clearly-Where is your blond hair,Where your sweet mouth?Now I drink pain in every delightAnd poison in every wine;I never knew it would be so bitter
