Der Knabe und seine Blumen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dort drunten am Bache
steht traurig der Knab'
und schaut in die Wellen,
wirft Blumen hinab.

Fort schwimmen die Blumen
so schnell und so gern,
als lockte sie freundlich
ein Eden von fern.

Der einsame Knabe
spricht also zum Bach:
„Hast alle genommen,
nimm selber mich nach!“

Was blöken die Lämmer,
die traurigen, dort?
Sie suchen den Knaben,
ihr Knabe ist fort.

Confirmed with Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Literatur, Theater und Mode, 14. 3. 1835
