by Ludwig Rellstab (1799 - 1860)
Verlangen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich weiss im grünen Walde Ein Röslein wunderschön, So jung, so zart entfaltet, So lieblich anzusehn. Es schaut aus grünen Blättern Mich engelfreundlich an Und lockt mit süßem Duften Unwiderstehlich an. Mich treibt's, an Herz zu drücken Des Rösleins frische Zier; Doch wehrt das scheue Zagen Der jungen Liebe mir. O möcht' sich's zu mir neigen Das Röslein wunderhold; Am Herzen wollt' ich's tragen, Bis daß ich sterben sollt.
