Weißt du den Abend noch? Die Ulme hing
Die dichten Zweige schützend um uns nieder,
Der Bach schoß glucksend unterm Zaun vorbei
Und um die Holzbank duftete der Flieder.

So süß, so süß! Die laue Nachtluft floß
In weichen Wogen schmeichelnd um die Glieder.
Die Grille zirpte leis im hohen Gras,
Und um die Holzbank duftete der Flieder.

Vom Himmel sank ein Stern in jähem Zug,
Lichtscheue Falter huschten hin und wieder,
Dein Arm umfaßte mich, wir waren jung...
Und um die Holzbank duftete der Flieder.
