Wenn die Rosen blühen, Hoffe, liebes Herz, Still und kühl verglühen Wird der heiße Schmerz, Was den Winter über Oft unheilbar schien, Es entweicht das Fieber, Wenn die Rosen blühn. Wenn die Rosen blühen, Liebe, blühst du auch, Rosenroth zu glühen In des Maien Hauch, Wo so manchen Wunden Schmerz und Krankheit flieh'n, Laß auch mich gefunden, Wenn die Rosen blüh'n! Wenn die Rosen blühen, Mattgequältes Herz, Freue dich, wir ziehen Dann wohl himmelwärts. Ewig dann geneesen, Wirst du neu erglüh'n; Wirst ein Himmlisch Wesen, Wenn die Rosen blüh'n.
L. Reichardt sets stanzas 1, 3

When the roses bloom, dear hoping heart, Still and cool, the searing pain will burn away. Whatever seemed incurable all winter, The fever subsides when the roses bloom. [ ... ... ... ... ... ... ...] When the roses bloom, crushed heart, Rejoice, then we will draw heavenward. Then eternally healed, you will glow anew, Becoming a heavenly being when the roses bloom.
