The Sphinx and Happiness. Poem by Gunnar Dal.
Second edition.
The stone statue of the Sphinx in a desert mysterious and dark
from his dream he woke up in the middle of the October night
with singing in the air — and a soft-fingered goddess of happiness
A multi-gray stone fetter dissolved in the fearful twilight.
"Sleepy wild beast, man and god," said the goddess,
"Walk off the ledge, freed from your spell."
I'm moving you humans from my publishing stock.
Follow me from here. — To the blue forests of joy I turn.
There I have planted the magic flowers of human happiness.
In the three-story palace, deep in the forest, I live.
"To you the three-storeyed palace, the seat of joy, I give."
