Die Blumen und die Thränen Sind sich verwandt gar nah, Denn plötzlich ist die Blume Und auch die Thräne da. Weiß Niemand sich zu sagen Woher die Blume kam, Noch auch woher die Thräne In Freude oder Gram. Und wie am Strauch die Blume Den Dorn vor dir verhüllt, So lindert auch die Thräne Den Schmerz, der dich erfüllt. Und wie sie ist gekommen Versiegt die Thräne auch, Und eh du's ahn'st ist wieder Von Blumen leer der Strauch.

Flowers and tears Are very closely related, For suddenly the flower And also the tear appears. No know is able to say Whence the flower came, Nor whence the tear [came] In joy or in sorrow. And as upon the bush the flower Conceals the thorn from you, Thus the tear also assuages The pain that fills you. And as it came, The tear also dries up, And before you fathom it, once more The bush is devoid of flowers.
