To My Neighbor

I lift you higher,
lift you out
of your body cells
stuffed with anxiety
of your past -
an evil load that smells.

I'll fill each cell
with love and joy
that makes the
angels dance.
You'll glide through earthly
filth and stench -
a spiritual trance.

From your youth filled eyes,
your hands
and feet,
a holy peace shall flow,
so you and I
be filled with grace -
let us be still
and know.

William Hermanns
[P527]

Seelentränen

Seelentränen sind Gedichte,
rot mit Herzblut aufgeschrieben,
tiefem Menschenleid zum Ruhm,

Lies sie still in reinem Lichte,
unbeschattet,
frei von Trieben:
Du betrittst ein Heiligtum.

Wilhelm Hermanns
[G001]

Introduction to the Poetry of William Hermanns

William Hermanns identified himself first as a Poet. He attributes his talent to his mother who used to read him poetry, including her own, as a little boy. When you read his memoirs about his battle experience as a volunteer of the Kaiser, published under the title The Holocaust - from a Survivor of Verdun, you will encounter a very sensitive young man discovering his conscience and a higher authority to obey than that taught him in German schools. His muse is that higher authority. He wrote German poetry (Gedichte) and after fleeing Germany into exile, some of which was spent in France, England and in South Africa before being granted a visa to enter the United States, he wrote also in English, having mastered that language and French in his early schooling.
