Das Röschen, das du mir geschickt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG FRE
Das Röschen, das du mir geschickt,
Von deiner lieben Hand gepflückt,
Es lebte kaum zum Abendrot,
Das Heimweh gab ihm frühen Tod;
Nun schwebet gleich sein Geist von hier
Als kleines Lied zurück zu dir.

The little rose that you sent me
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The little rose that you sent me,
Picked by your dear hand,
It barely lived until sunset;
Homesickness gave it an early death.
Now its spirit shall soon drift away from here,
Back to you in the form of a little poem/song.
