by Christian Nikolaus Hugo Staacke

Sie spielt mit Blumen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie spielt mit Blumen
Im welken Strauß,
Dem fielen die Blüten
Schon alle aus. 

Dennoch ihr Sinnen,  
Ihr ganzes Sein,
Dreht sich um die dürren
Blätter allein.

Verstummt ist der Rede
Lieblicher Laut,
Starren Blickes 
Das Auge schaut. 

Wenn nur eine Thräne,
Still und leis,
Lös'te die Schmerzen
So tief und heiß!
