Bertolt Brecht

Here you will find the Poem I Never Loved You More of poet Bertolt Brecht

I Never Loved You More

I never loved you more, ma soeur
Than as I walked away from you that evening.
The forest swallowed me, the blue forest, ma soeur
The blue forest and above it pale stars in the west.

I did not laugh, not one little bit, ma soeur
As I playfully walked towards a dark fate ?
While the faces behind me
Slowly paled in the evening of the blue forest.

Everything was grand that one night, ma soeur
Never thereafter and never before ?
I admit it: I was left with nothing but the big birds
And their hungry cries in the dark evening sky.
