by Ricarda Octavia Huch (1864 - 1947)

Laß, o meine Blume, dich begießen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Laß, o meine Blume, dich begießen 
Mit dem Wasser meiner beiden Augen; 
Aus den Tränen, die dir willig fließen, 
Wirst du Kraft zu ew'ger Blüte saugen. 
Keiner, der die holden Blätter schaut, 
Ahnt, daß sie auf meine Qualen warten. 
Welch ein Dämon, höllisch süßes Kraut, 
Pflanzte dich in meinen stillen Garten?
