by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

Sein Blut
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Am liebsten pflückte er meines Glückes
Letzte Rose im Maien
Und würfe sie in den Rinnstein.
Sein Blut plagt ihn.

Am liebsten lockte er meiner Seele
Zitternden Sonnenstrahl
In seine düstre Nächtequal.

Am liebsten griff er mein spielendes Herz
Aus wiegendem Lenzhauch
Und hing es auf wo an einem Dornstrauch
.... Sein Blut plagt ihn.

Confirmed with Else Lasker-Schüler, Gesammelte Gedichte, Leipzig, Verlag der Weißen Bücher, 1917, page 47.
