by Heinrich Kruse (1815 - 1902)

Wirst du Kleonike's Stimme kennen?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wirst du Kleonike's Stimme kennen?  
Ja, ich bin's, die dir von unten ruft! 
Pflanze mir auf meine frühe Gruft 
Jene Blume, die sie Sehnsucht nennen.  

Sieh, aus meinem Staub die Wurzeln nähren   
Wird der schöne, doldenreiche Strauch.  
Und du, theurer Chares, pflegt ihn auch: 
Du benetzest ihn mit deinen Zähren!
