by Detlev von Liliencron (1844 - 1909)

Briefwechsel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Im Garten, heute Morgen, 
Als ich deinen Brief erbrach,
Fand ich drin verborgen
Ein Rosenblatt.
Ein Rosenblatt, deinen Locken entsunken. 
Als ich es trunken mit den Lippen berührte, 
Kam ein Windhauch und entführte
Den holden Gast. 
Nun segelt es lustig zu dir zurück, 
Gleich einer Krone trägt es mein Glück
Auf tiefrotem Sammt -- und verblaßt.

Confirmed with Detlev von Liliencron, Adjutantenritte, Zweite Auflage, Berlin, Schuster & Loeffler, 1896, page 46.
