What does this metaphor mean?
What do these 2 verses mean?
I would have the best birds in the world
To wake you at dawn
It is from the poem “ I want to be this birch” by Ivan Goll
I want to be this birch
That you love so much:
I would have a hundred arms to protect you
One hundred green and gentle hands
To caress you!
I would have the best birds in the world
To wake you at dawn
And to comfort in the evening
In the hours of summer I could
Spilling under petals of sun
In my shadow I wrapped the night
Your anxious dreams…
I wish I were this birch
At whose feet they will dig your grave
And those with their roots
will still embrace you
The awakening through the singing of the birds is a very gentle awakening with beautiful, pleasant impressions, very melodic, very peaceful, not as sudden and pressing as with an alarm clock. That’s what lyrical me wants to do. A declaration of love early in the morning.
Have you never been awakened by the vigel song? Amseln in spring are impressive.
Ups 😂😅, didn’t interpret it so literally. I felt around 20 corners.
(PS: I live in a big city)
Too bad, maybe you’ll get it in a park if the traffic noise doesn’t overtone it, but should get up early.
Very likely not 😅. Living in Beijing, the heart of China 🇨🇳.
This means the same as in this song:

He always wants to be there for her from the first moment of the day.
