by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Die Rose hier, die gelbe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Rose hier, die gelbe,
gab gestern mir der Knab,
heut trag ich sie, dieselbe,
hin auf sein frisches Grab.

An ihren Blättern lehnen
noch lichte Tröpfchen, — schau!
Nur heute sind es Tränen, —
und gestern war es Tau....
