by Friedrich Hermann Frey (1839 - 1911), as Martin Greif

Am Oleanderbaum
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es blüht vor einem stillen Haus
Ein rosenroter Oleander --
[Dort]1, wann ich Abends trat heraus,
[Dort schieden oft wir]2 von einander.

Mir aber kommt es heute vor,
Er wollte nicht mehr weiter spriessen,
Ich müsste denn in seinem Flor
Mit Tränen heimlich ihn begiessen.
