Verblühte Malven stehen Den Gartenweg entlang, Rosenblätter verwehen; In einer fernen Laube Tönt Laute und Gesang. "Wir wollen nimmer reden, Die Worte sind so schwer. Da nimm von den Reseden Noch einen Strauß zur Reise, Bald gibt es keine mehr." Nun ist sie weggegangen Mit ihrem leichten Schritt Und nimmt auf ihren Wangen Mir alle meine Rosen Und meinen Sommer mit.

Faded hollyhocks stand Along the garden path, Rose petals scatter; In a distant bower Sounds a lute and singing. "Let us never speak, Words are too difficult. Here, take of mignonettes A bouquet yet for your journey, Soon there shall be no more of them." Now she has gone away With her light step And upon her cheeks she takes All of my roses And my summer with her.
