Ich ging, den Blick zur Erde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Ich ging, den Blick zur Erde,
Am Wiesenbach' hinauf,
Ein Veilchen sah ich blühen,
Das Veilchen nahm ich auf,
Ich schritt am Bache weiter,
Halb meiner unbewußt,
Da sah ich eine Rose,
Die nahm ich an die Brust.
Und weiter, weiter schreitend
Am klaren Bache hin,
Verlor ich beide Blümchen,
Und kam -- an Rosmarin[.]

I walked along, my gaze lowered
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
I walked along, my gaze lowered,
Up along the meadow brook,
I saw a violet blooming,
I took up the violet.
I strode further along the brook,
Half unconscious of myself,
Then I saw a rose,
I took it to my bosom.
And striding farther, farther
Along the clear brook,
I lost both little flowers,
And came -- to rosemary[.]
