Geboren in
Erfurt Sachsen Deutschland
den 17. April 1825
Gestorben den 21 Juni 1897
Gleich des Feldes Blumen werde
Was geboren wird und stäubt
Nur der Erdenleib wird Erde
Aber sein Bewohner bleibt
Ja Du lebst, Geliebte lebest
Ueber Sternen, ja Du schwebest
Noch voll Liebe um die Deinen
Die an Deinem Grabe weinen
[Like wild flowers on the fields
all that's born and yields
Only the worldly body becomes dirt
but its soul remains
Yes you live, my dearest, you live
Above the stars you soar
Full of love for those
who cry at your grave]
