Morgenstern, Christian: The Seagulls (Möwenlied in English)
Möwenlied (German)Die Möwen sehen alle aus
|
The Seagulls (English)The seagulls by their looks suggest that Emma is their name; they wear a white and fluffy vest and are the hunter's game.
I never shoot a seagull dead; their life I do not take. I like to feed them gingerbread and bits of raisin cake.
O human, you will never fly the way the seagulls do; but if your name is Emma, why, be glad they look like you.
