by Karl Friedrich von Gerok (1815 - 1890)

Blühender Mohn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Laue, linde
  Sommerwinde,
Wiegt mein Mohnfeld leicht und leis,
  Daß die blanken
  Blüten schwanken,
Rosenrot und lilienweiß!

  Junisonne,
  Sommerwonne
Stehn auf ihrer Höhe schon,
  Deiner Fahnen
  Leises Mahnen,
Wohl vernehm ich's, bunter Mohn!

  Sinnend steh ich,
  Träumend seh' ich
Weit ins Land vom Wiesensaum:
  Winde weben,
  Blüten beben
-- Und das Leben ist ein Traum. --

Confirmed with Unter dem Abendstern. Gedichte von Karl Gerok, Sechste vermehrte Auflage, Stuttgart: Druck und Verlag von Greiner & Pfeiffer, 1889, page 35.
