by Albert Emil Brachvogel (1824 - 1878)

Verloren Dasein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es steht ein stiller Entian 
In dunklem Waldesgrund, 
Der einsam und vergessen
Aus duft'gem Moos erstund.

Der stille, traurige Entian
An lauschigem Bergesried
In zitterndem Sonnenstrahle
Ist einsam ausgeblüht.

Wie sehnsuchtsvoll die Blume sein
Auch haucht im Sonnenkuß, 
Alleinsam und vergessen 
Im Wald er sterben muß.

Doch flatternde Äthergeister,
Nachtlicher Winde Chor, 
Heben die Blumenseele 
Ihm aus dem Staub empor,

Tragen sein stilles Sehnen, 
All sein verborgen Leid,
Hin an ein Menschenherze,
Hin in die Seligkeit! -- 

Confirmed with Lieder und lyrische Dichtungen von Albert Emil Brachvogel, Berlin, Verlag von A. Vogel & Co., 1861, pages 50-51.
