Die Verbannten Kinder Evas
Brief Even As Bright
The flower that smiles todayTomorrow diesAll that we wished to stayTemps and then fliesWhat is the worlds delight?Lightning that mocks the nightBrief even as brightVirtue how frail it isFriendship too rareLove, how it sells poor blissFor proud despairBut we, though soon they fallSurvive the joy and allWhich ours we callWhat is the worlds delight?Lightning that mocks the nightBrief even as brightWhilst yet the calm hours creepDream thou and from thy sleepThan wake to weep
