Von stillem Ort, Von kühler Statt Nehm ich mit fort Ein Epheublatt. Ein Requiem Tönt leis und matt, So oft ich nehm Zur Hand das Blatt. Wenn aller Schmerz Geendet hat, Legt mir auf's Herz Das Epheublatt.
Confirmed with Gedichte von Peter Cornelius, eingeleitet von Adolf Stern, Leipzig, C. F. Kahnt Nachfolger, 1890, page 129.
