possibly by Carl Benthner

Kornblume
Language: English 
Wie strahlt in tiefer Bläue 
Kornblum' im Ährenfeld, 
Ein sinnig Bild der Treue 
Mit ihm sie steht und fehlt. 

Ins goldne Halmgewimmel 
Wob' sie die selbe Hand, 
Durch die am blauen Himmel 
Die Sternensaat erstand.  

Aus ihrem Kelche trinket 
Das Bienlein Honigseim; 
Sieh', wie sie dir auch winket. 
Was trägst du von ihr heim? 

Dir kündet ihre Bläue: 
Vom Himmel kommt dein Brot, 
Gott sorgt mit Vatertreue; 
Sei treu Ihm bis zum Tod.
