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

Unter Myrthen und Narzissen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Unter Myrthen und Narzissen
Wandelten wir traumverloren,
Als Du unter heißen Küssen
Weinend Liebe mir geschworen.

Unter Myrthen und Narzissen
Sahn wir eines Sterns Gefunkel
Hoch sich heben, aufwärts schweben,
Und die Welt versank in Dunkel.
