by Vincenz Zusner (1803 - 1874)

Ein Rosenblatt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Als jüngst der Bach im Morgenglanze
den ersten Kuß der Rose gab,
da sank aus ihrem Blütenkranze
in seine Flut ein Blatt hinab.

Dies trägt er nun auf seinen Wellen
durch Wald und Flur um süssem Weh'
und wahrt es selbst an öden Stellen,
bis es verrauscht im tiefen See.

Wenn auch im bunten Weltgetriebe
schon unsre letzte Freude schwand,
das Rosenblatt der ersten Liebe,
umschwebt uns bis zum Grabesrand.
