by Auguste Schmidt (1833 - 1902)

Der Blume Tod
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lieb' Blümelein, lieb' Blümelein, 
Du blickst so fromm in's Abendroth;  
Es ist zum letzten Male, 
Du Blümlein in dem Thale, 
Denn morgen bist du todt.

Lieb' Blümelein, lieb' Blümelein, 
Im schwarzen Mantel kommt die Nacht. 
Bei sanfter Sterne Blinken 
Die Augen dir zusinken, 
Es bleicht der Farben Pracht.  

Lieb' Blümelein, lieb' Blümelein, 
In Rosenglanz und Blüthenduft, 
So kommt der Morgen wieder 
In's stille Thal hernieder, 
Streut Perlen auf die Gruft.  

Confirmed with Herzensklänge. Dichter-Album für deutsche Frauen und Jungfrauen. Zweite Auflage, Leipzig: C. A. Koch's Verlag, 1878, pages 249 -250.
