Ein Rosenzweig

Im Süden war's. Zur Nachtzeit. Eine Gasse. 
Ich trat aus deinem Haus und schloß das Tor 
und wandte noch einmal den Blick empor: 
da flog ein Zweig aus deinem Dachgelasse 

und fiel aufs Pflaster, - daß ich rasch mich bückte 
und deinen Hauch noch warm vom Munde nahm 
der schweren Rosen, deren Gruß den Gram 
der kurzen Trennung duftend überbrückte.
