Reconciliation

by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869-1945)

A great star will fall into my lap. . .We would hold vigil tonight,

Praying in languagesThat are carven like harps.

We would be reconciled tonight—So fully God overwhelms us.

Our hearts are only children,Eager for weary-sweet slumber.

And our lips would kiss each other,Why are you fearful?

Does not your heart border upon mine—Your blood always dyes my cheeks red.

We would be reconciled tonight,If we clasp each other, we shall not perish.

A great star will fall into my lap.
