by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Blume im Verwelken spricht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Blume im Verwelken spricht: 
„Nur ein Thau, dann sterb' ich nicht.” 

Flamme im Verglimmen fleht: 
„Nur ein Hauch! Die Gluth verweht.” 

Quell im Sande flüstert sacht:
„Nur ein Regen über Nacht.” 

Und mein Herz fleht sehnenswund: 
„Nur ein Wort von Deinem Mund.” 

Confirmed with Gedichte von Peter Cornelius, eingeleitet von Adolf Stern, Leipzig, C. F. Kahnt Nachfolger, 1890, page 104.
