by Hermann von Gilm zu Rosenegg (1812 - 1864)
Die Zeitlose
Language: German (Deutsch)
Auf frisch gemähtem Weideplatz Steht einsam die Zeitlose, Den Leib von einer Lilie, Die Farb' von einer Rose. Doch es ist Gift, was aus dem Kelch, Dem reinen, blinkt, so rötlich; Die letzte Blum', die letzte Lieb' Sind beide schön, doch tödlich.
