by (Heinrich) Ludwig Theodor Giesebrecht (1792 - 1873)

Erste Veilchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Ob]1 auch die ersten Veilchen nicht,
Die Frühling aufgeschlossen,
Doch die dein Freund dir heute bricht --
Ob auch die ersten Veilchen nicht --
Sei dir mit ihnen Frühlings Licht
Ins bange Herz ergossen,
Ob auch die ersten Veilchen nicht,
Die Frühling aufgeschlossen.
