Wie wirkt der Kreuzreim in diesem Gedicht? Was soll er ausdrücken?
Es war, als hätt‘ der Himmel
Die Erde still geküsst,
Dass sie im Blütenschimmer
Von ihm nun träumen müsst‘.
Die Luft ging durch die Felder,
Die Ähren wogten sacht,
Es rauschten leis‘ die Wälder,
So sternklar war die Nacht.
Und meine Seele spannte
Weit ihre Flügel aus,
Flog durch die stillen Lande,
Als flöge sie nach Haus.
My view: a rhyme alone doesn’t express anything yet.
Of course, a cross-reim comes more elegantly, therefore, as a Knittelvers by Wilhelm Busch.
And of course, a sonett by Petrarca or Shakespeare acts more aesthetically than the work of the Lower Saxon Verseschmied (which I do not want to devalue).
In the above poem just fits everything, I find. But the rhyme scheme is only part of the whole. Much more important – among others – the rhymeWords. For example, I find the “Blütenschimmer” simply brilliant.
Greeting, earnest
It expresses a united harmony, because it is not just a military-looking couple of rhymes, but always the other pair comes in between.
I think that’s overinterpreted.
Actually, the lines would have to be longer, two lines each to one. And then they remnant in the middle of what I feel as a dtox. Hesitation, wonder … slowly perceive nature …
