BRECHT, Berthold (1898-1956). Autograph manuscript signed ('Bert. Brecht') of his poem, 'Tod im Wald', n.p., n.d., 41 lines on 1½ pages, folio, in five- and six-line stanzas (short splits at folds, even browning).

'Und ein Mann starb im ewigen Wald
unten, tief, wo Sturm in Nacht verbrauste.
Starb wie ein Tier im Wurzelwerk verkrallt,
Starrte hoch zu den Wipfeln wo über den Wald
Sturm seit Tagen über Alles sauste'.

A slightly longer version of this poem appeared in Brecht's early play Baal (1918/19).
