... salut de nouveau

Wieder auf Reisen.
Du fragst oft nach mir.
Ich telephonier
noch vorm Zubettgehen mit dir.


Freu mich auf den Moment,
wenn ich steh in der Tür,

und du läufst mir jauchzend entgegen.

...

Und dann öffne ich meine Arme für dich.
Ja, dann öffne ich meine Arme für dich!


Dann öffne ich meine Arme, Gerhard Schöne (1992)

THE TELEPHONE


"When I was just as far as I could walk
From here today,
There was an hour
All still
When leaning with my head against a flower
I heard you talk.
Don't say I didn't, for I heard you say - 
You spoke from that flower on the windowsill -
Do you remember what it was you said?"

"First tell me what it was you thought you heard."

"Having found the flower and driven a bee away,
I leaned my head,
And holding by the stalk,
I listened and I thought I caught the word - 
What was it? Did you call me by my name?
Or did you say - 
Someone said "Come" - I heard it as I bowed."

"I may have thought as much, but not aloud."

"Well, so I came."

Robert Frost
