Stuttgart

 

The poem (above)ris taken from 'Greetings to Stuttgart' (c.1867) by Karl Geroks. It reads:


There you lie now in the sunshine

Beautiful as I have ever seen you

In your mountain green wreath

My Stuttgart, there again.


Lying there, flamed by the evening gold

Nestled in the valley

As if set in green velvet

A golden jewel lies there!


Karl Gerok (1815 - 1890), German preacher and religious poet. He studied at Tübingen, and became chief court preacher and chief consistorial councillor in Stuttgart in 1868.
