Lily, look at me

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

         I.
   Lily, look at me,
Dew sparkles about you,
You are sorrowful,
Near you I feel suffering.

   I am happy,
Rose, know me,
Blissfully emit your sent,
Near you I feel joys.

   Roses, lilies,
Joys, suffering
Both bloom
For my wreath, both!
