by Ludwig Bowitsch (1818 - 1881)

Rosengespräch
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zwei welke Rosen lagen 
Vor'm ernsten Gotteshaus, 
Und hauchten die letzten Düfte
Aus ihren Kelchen aus. 

"Ich bin einer Braut gefallen 
Aus ihrem lockigen Haar:  
Mein kurzes Leben doch schöner, 
Als deines, o Schwester, war!"  

"Ich hab' als Todtenblume 
Bedeckt ein gebrochen Herz: 
Du schmücktest die letzte Freude, 
Ich ehrte den letzten Schmerz!" 

Confirmed with Ludwig Bowitsch, Liederbuch, Wien: A. Pichler's Witwe & Sohn, 1866, page 151.
