Genug gewandert
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Es schwingt in der Sonne sich auf
    Ein Bienchen in guldiger Pracht. -
Bin müde vom irren Lauf,
    Erstarrt von der Kälte der Nacht.

Ein Bienchen in guldiger Pracht,
    In würziger Blumen Reih'n -
Erstarrt von der Kälte der Nacht,
    Begehr' ich nach stärkendem Wein.

In würziger Blumen Reih'n
    Bist, Rose, die herrlichste du. -
Begehr' ich nach stärkendem Wein,
    Wer trinket den Becher mir zu?

Bist, Rose, die herrlichste du,
    Die Sonne der Sterne fürwahr! -
Wer trinket den Becher mir zu
    Aus der rosigen Mädchen Schaar?

Die Sonne der Sterne, fürwahr
    Die Rose entfaltete sich, -
Aus der rosigen Mädchen Schaar
    Umfängt die lieblichste mich.

Die Rose entfaltete sich,
    Das Bienchen wird nicht mehr geseh'n. -
Umfängt die Lieblichste mich,
    Ist's fürder um's Wandern gescheh'n.
