O gib mir nicht die volle Rose
Language: German (Deutsch)
O gib mir nicht die [volle]1 Rose,
Die man nur Glückserkornen [reicht;]2
Mir ziemt die [kühle]3 Herbstzeitlose,
Die auf dem Grab des Sommer [bleicht]4.
Sie spricht von tiefem Heimverlangen
Und kündet, daß auf immerdar
Ein Glück an uns vorbeigegangen,
Das unbeschreiblich selig war.

Meadow saffron
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Oh, do not give to me the fully-opened rose
That one only gives to those destined for happiness.
For me the meadow saffron is more appropriate,
[The flower] that blooms on summer's grave.
It speaks of a deep yearning for home
And proclaims that forevermore
A happiness has passed us by
That was indescribably beautiful!
