by Paul Heinze (1858 - 1912)

O du lieblicher Kelch, umwoben von Duft
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O du lieblicher Kelch, umwoben von Duft,
Von Purpurschimmer durchfunkelt!
Sanft lodern in dir die Flammen
Des Schönen in Eine zusammen
Und blühst doch über des Lebens Gruft,
Schwarz von Cypressen umdunkelt!

Bist du aus jener anderen Welt
Als Gruß mir tröstlich entboten,
Daß einst im Frieden des Schönen
Sich werde das Leben versöhnen? 
  Geisterhauch fächelt das Gräberfeld:
  Selig, selig die Todten!
