Die Rosen und die Nelken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die Rosen und die Nelken
Und Flieder und Jasmin,
Die müssen wohl verwelken
Und müssen wohl verblühn.

Liebe ist Gab' und Güte,
Liebe ist keine Pflicht,
Liebe ist eine Blüte --
Verblüht und bleibet nicht.

Die Rosen und der Flieder
Und Nelken und Jasmin,
Die kommen alle wieder,
Und werden wieder blühn.

Nur nicht die Lieb und Treue,
Wenn sie verlohren ist.
Es keimt keine Herz aufs Neue,
Das schon gebrochen ist.
