by Ludwig Peter August Burmeister (1804 - 1870), as Johann Peter Lyser

Ich habe die Sternblume befragt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich habe die Sternblume befragt; 
"Sie liebt Dich!  --  sie liebt Dich!"  --  hat sie gesagt. 
Mir aber sagte zu selbiger Stund', 
"Ich liebe Dich nicht!"  --  Dein Rosenmund. 

Eins von Beiden, mein Liebchen, lügt. 
Ich frag' noch ein Drittes, das nimmer trügt;
Ich schau' Dir ins Auge rein und klar;
O Wonne!  das Blumenorakel sprach wahr!
