Die letzte Rose
 (Sung text for setting by R. Franz)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Da welkt am Fenster die letzte Rose!
Leb wohl, leb wohl, du armes Kind!
Es grüßet dich, die thränenlose,
der Wind des Nordens, der kalte Wind.

Vom Norden der Wind - er klopft an die Scheiben,
Er klopft mit den starren Fingern an!
Er will an das weinende Fenster schreiben,
Was die böse Welt, was sie uns angethan.

Kein rettender Thau wird dir erscheinen!
O Rose, dein Kelch ist ein Kelch der Passion!
Wir haben Beide verlernt zu weinen;
Wir sind so jung noch, und welken schon! 
From Blüthenkranz neuer deutscher Dichtung: herausgegeben von Rudolph Gottschall, 1858
