Du [kahler Dornenstrauß]1
Machst meinen Reichthum aus,
Bring' mir entschwund'nes Glück
Zurück, zurück!
Einst war die Zeit wohl da,
Wo ich die Rose sah,
Aus deiner Blätter Grün
Voll Reiz erblüh'n; --
Bist nun gleich kahl und dürr,
Bleibst du doch theuer mir,
Press' dich in stiller Lust
Fest an die Brust.
Mein Herz! o klage nicht,
Wenn wund der Dorn dich sticht,
Denk' an der Rose Zeit,
Die dich erfreut'! --
M. Hinrichs sets stanzas 1, 2, 4
