by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)

Der Blumenstrauß
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn Sträuchen, Blumen manche Deutung eigen,
Wenn in den Rosen Liebe sich entzündet,
Vergissmeinnicht im Namen schon sich kündet,
Lorbeere Ruhm, [Zypressen Trauer zeigen]1;

Wenn, wo die andern Zeichen alle schweigen,
Man doch in Farben zarten Sinn ergründet,
Wenn [Stolz]2 und Neid dem Gelben sich verbündet,
Wenn Hoffnung flattert in den grünen Zweigen:

So brach ich wohl mit Grund in meinem Garten
Die Blumen aller Farben, aller Arten,
Und bring' sie dir, zu wildem Strauß [gereihet]3:

Dir ist ja meine Lust, mein Hoffen, Leiden,
Mein Lieben, meine Treu, mein Ruhm, mein Neiden,
Dir ist mein Leben, dir mein Tod [geweihet]4.
