Die Blume.
 O Quell, was strömst du rasch und wild,
 Und wühlst in deinem Silbersande,
 Und drängst, von weißem Schaum verhüllt,
 Dich schwellend auf am grünen Rande?
 O riesle, Quell,
 Doch glatt und hell,
 Daß ich, verklärt von zartem Thaue,
 Mein zitternd Bild in dir erschaue.

 ...

Note: Schubert's fragment breaks off almost at the end of the first stanza, in the middle of the word "erschaue".
