by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Findest Du denn noch Blüthen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Findest Du denn noch Blüthen 
Im herbstlichen Waldesraum? 
               „Kaum!”

Was suchst Du an Busch und Baum, 
Da Blüth' und Blume verglühten?
               „Blüthen!”

Du suchest sie dem Herzen 
Das Dich nur liebt allein?
               „Nein!”

Wem willst Du die Blüthen weih'n 
In einsamer Liebe Schmerzen? 
               „Dem Herzen!”

So hoffst Du Lohn der Liebe 
Wenn Dir ein Strauß gedieh?
               „Nie!”

Dann sag' mir was und wie 
Der Blumen Deutung bliebe?
               „Liebe!”
