by (Gustav) Emil Barthel (1835 - 1906)

Im Bann des Coelibats
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wo heimlich der ruhelose,
Der junge Priester steht,
Da ruht eine Mädchenrose 
Todt unterm Rosenbeet.

Daß sich ihre Seelen fanden 
In namenloser Lust,
Sie haben sich's niemals gestanden,
Und niemand hat es gewußt! --

Confirmed with Sächsisch thüringisches Dichterbuch, Unter Mitwirkung von Adolf Brieger und Kurt von Rohrscheidt herausgegeben von G. Emil Barthel, Halle a. d. Saale: Verlag von Otto Hendel, 1885, page 316.
