by Johannes "Hans" Steiger (1889 - 1943?)

Eine silberweisse Blume ist
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Eine silberweisse Blume ist
Meine Sehnsucht...
Mit jäh aufgerissenen, grossen
Kinderblicken immer,
Stillen - bangen -
Nachttau zart wie Tränenschimmer
Auf den bleichen Blätterwangen...
Silberweisse Blume -
Du, meine Sehnsucht!
Weißt du,
Daß du sterben mußt,
Kommt das Glück einmal gegangen...
