Geheimnis

O Frühlingsabenddämmerung!
O laues, lindes Weh'n,
Ihr Blütenbäume, sprecht, was tut
ihr so zusammensteh'n?

Vertraut ihr das Geheimnis euch
Von uns'rer Liebe süß?
Was flüstert ihr ein ander zu
Von uns'rer Liebe süß?

by Karl August Candidus (1817-1872) , "Geheimnis", from Vermischte Gedichte, published 1869
