by Günther Walling (1839 - 1896), as Karl Ulrici

Sinkt des Taggestirnes Lauf
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Sinkt des Taggestirnes Lauf
Geht für mich die Sonne auf,
Dann erscheint mit flücht'gem Fuß 
Leise sie auf dem Balkon, 
Lauschend meines Liedes Gruß,
-- Sonne, kaum genaht, entflohn! --
Dann aus zarter, weißer Hand 
Eine Rose niederschwebt;
Eh' die meine auf sie hebt, 
Wieder Nacht rings -- sie entschwand
