by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

Du, sende mir nicht länger den Duft
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du, sende mir nicht länger den Duft,
Den brennenden Balsam
Deiner süßen Gärten zur Nacht.

Auf meinen Wangen blutet die Scham
Und um mich zittert die Sommerluft.

Du … wehe Kühle auf meine Wangen
Aus duftlosen, wunschlosen Gräsern zur Nacht.

Nur nicht länger den Hauch deiner suchenden Rosen,
     Er quält meine Scham.
