by Hermann von Gilm zu Rosenegg (1812 - 1864)

Es liegen Veilchen dunkelblau
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es liegen Veilchen dunkelblau
Auf einem Grab im Abendtau,
Ein kleines Mädchen kniet davor
Und hebt die Hände fromm empor.

"O sagt, Ihr Veilchen, in der Nacht
Der Mutter, was der Vater macht,
Das ich schon stricken kann und daß
Ich tausendmal sie grüßen lass.
