Sie saß am Rebenfenster Im stillen Kämmerlein, Und schaute hinaus in den Frühling Und der Frühling schaute [hinein]1. Und wer den Weg gegangen, Blieb [stille grüßend]2 stehn, Von allen den Blumen des Frühlings [Auch]3 die schönste Rose zu seh'n. Die schickte freundlich lächelnd Ein frühlingsduftend Wort; [Ein sehnendes Herz zog weiter Und die Rose blühete fort.]4

She sat at the grapevine-window In the quiet chamber, And looked out into spring And spring looked in. And whoever walked that way Stopped with a quiet greeting In order to see of all the flowers of spring, The loveliest rose [as well]1. She sent forth, smiling in a friendly manner, A spring-scented word; [A yearning heart travelled onward And the rose continued to bloom.]2
