Duld' es still, wenn von den Zweigen Von den überfüllten Zweigen, Blüten weh'n ins fromme Haar, Und sich sacht herüberneigen, So im Durst herüberneigen, Lippen sich auf Lippenpaar. Sieh, ein Beben süß und wunderlich Rinnt durch übersonnte Blätterreihen. Alle Blüten, die sie niederstreuen, Segen streuen sie auf dich und mich.
Confirmed with Ludwig Jacobowski, Leuchtende Tage. Neue Gedichte 1896-1898, Minden in Westf.: J.C.C. Bruns' Verlag, 1900, page 30.

Bear it quietly, when from the branches, From the over-filled branches, Blossoms drift onto your demure locks, And gently lips lean over Thus thirstily lips lean over, Toward a pair of lips. See, a trembling, sweet and wondrous, runs Through rows of leaves bestrewn with sunlight. With all the blossoms that they drop down, They scatter blessings upon you and me.
