by Friedrich Wilhelm Gubitz (1786 - 1870)

Ein Veilchen, im Grase zerdrückt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Veilchen, im Grase zerdrückt,
    Weinte;
Maiblümchen, mit Knospen beglückt,
    Meinte:
"Ei, Schwester, hinweg mit Leid, 
Verblüh'n ist Gesetz der Zeit!" 
Das Veilchen im Sterben d'rauf spricht: 
"Verblüh'n, ja zertreten nur nicht!"
