by Oscar von Redwitz-Schmölz (1823 - 1891)

So lang mein Himmel heiter blaut
Language: German (Deutsch) 
So lang mein Himmel heiter blaut,
Will ich nicht an die Wolke denken;
So lang die Locke nicht ergraut,
Will ich mein blühend Haupt nicht senken.

Denkt denn die Blume an's Verblühn,
Wenn sie der Knospe sich entwindet?
Denkt denn der Stern in seinem Glühn,
Daß er am Morgen schon erblindet?
