Text: Ah! Sunflower! weary of time, / Who contest the steps of the Sun! / Seeking after that sweet golden clime, / Where the traveller's journey is done; / Where the Youth pined away with desire, / And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow, / Arise from their graves, and aspire / Where my Sunflower wished to go. / W. Blank
Location: Recto
Method of creation: Watercolour

Text: Von all' den Rosen, die am Hage sprossen, / Ist keine so mit süssem Duft gewürzt / Als du, die halb erst ihren Kelch erschlossen, / Von grüner Knospenhülle noch geschürzt. / Halb-offne Rose lieblicher denn alle! / Du mahnest mich an ächter Liebe Sinn; / Die rührt mich nicht, die stets im Redeschwalle / Des Herzens offnes Blalt mir breitet hin. / Nein, wa nur menchmal zart aus Aug und Munde / Wie aus der Knospe dringt ein warm Gemüth / Ahn ich entzückt, dass tief im Herzensgrunde / Noch reich der Liebe Rosefeuer glüht. / Ad. Stöber.
