Solace
By Ina Seidel
Born 1885 Halle/Saale, died 1974 Ebenhausen near Munich

Translation: Trost

Immortal the scent of the lindens -
Why do you fear?
You will fade away, and soon
No one will find your footprints in the dust.
But blue and brilliant will the summer stay
And with its sweet breeze
Gently the aching soul will ease.
Whence do you come? How long will be your stay?
Who should care?
Immortal the scent of the lindens -
