Poems

HILDE IST BESTIMMT GAR NICHT NACH BONN GEFAHREN /
હિલ્ડે બોન તો નથી જ ગઈ / हिल्डं गेलेलीच नाही बॉनला, नक्कीच

MEINE LIEBSTE GEMAHLIN HOFFENTLICH WIRD ES HEUTE MORGEN / પ્રિય, હજી મળસ્કાનું અંધારું હોય તો સારું / प्रिय बायको, आशा करूया नसेल आजची सकाळ

MOMBASA ISLAND, ZWEITER JULI /
મોમ્બાસા ટાપુ, 2જી જુલાઇ / मोंबासा बेट, दोन जुलै, प्रिय यासमोनी
