The Deep Song | A poem by Georg Trakl, 1887-1914
Georg Trakl, Self portrait, 1913
.
From deep night I was released.
My soul is astonished in immortality,
My soul listens over space and time
To the melody of eternity!
Not day and lust, not night and suffering
Is the melody of eternity,
And since I listened to eternity,
I feel no more lust and suffering!
Georg Trakl, The Deep Song
