by Moritz Hartmann (1821 - 1872)

Kein Wort und keinen Hauch
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kein Wort und keinen Hauch --
Wir wollen schweigen.
Die Trauerweiden, die sich neigen
Auf Leichensteine, schweigen auch.

Sie neigen sich und lesen,
Wie ich auf deinen Wangen:
Es ist ein Glück gewesen
Und ist vorbei gegangen.
