possibly by Otto Inkermann (1823 - 1862), as C. O. Sternau

Liebeslied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Welt ohne dich ein Sarkophag,
Die Erde mit dir ein Blütenhag,
Kein Stern, wo nicht dein Auge scheint,
Keine Perle, wo nicht dein Auge weint!

Der Rosen Rot nur auf deiner Wang',
Das Lied nur in deiner Stimme Klang,
Ein Herz nur, wo das deine schlägt,
Nur Leben, wo sich das deine regt!

Und sollt du nimmer mein eigen sein,
Dann gute Nacht, lieber Sternenschein,
Gute Nacht, du sonniger Blütenhag,
Die Welt ohne dich ein Sarkophag.

Note: Mihalovich score cites author as "O. Sternau"
