About this etching
Part of the Winterreise sequence.
Etching on zinc, printed on "Fabriano Watercolour" 300g/m ² paper.
Der Reif hat einen weißen Schein
Mir über’s Haar gestreuet.
Da glaubt’ ich schon ein Greis zu sein,
Und hab’ mich sehr gefreuet.
Doch bald ist er hinweggetaut,
Hab’ wieder schwarze Haare,
Dass mir’s vor meiner Jugend graut –
Wie weit noch bis zur Bahre!
Vom Abendrot zum Morgenlicht
Ward mancher Kopf zum Greise.
Wer glaubt’s? Und meiner ward es nicht
Auf dieser ganzen Reise!
