by Hermann von Gilm zu Rosenegg (1812 - 1864)
Die Zeitlose
Language: German (Deutsch)
Auf frisch gemähtem Weideplatz Steht einsam die Zeitlose, Den Leib von einer Lilie, Die Farb' von einer [Rose.]1 Doch es ist Gift, was aus dem Kelch, Dem reinen, blinkt, so rötlich; Die letzte Blum', die letzte Lieb' Sind beide schön, doch tödlich.
