by Christian Weise (1642 - 1708)
Translation possibly by Clemens Maria Wenzeslaus von Brentano (1778 - 1842)

Die Rose blüht, selig die fromme Biene
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Die Rose blüht, selig die fromme Biene,
Die in der Blätter keuschen Busen sinkt
Und milden Thau und linden Honig trinkt,
Selig die Magd, die dir, o Rose, diene!
In Freuden schwebet ihr Gemüth,
Weil ihre Rose blüht.

Die Rose blüht, Gott lass' doch milde glühen 
Der Sonne Licht, hüll' Ros' und Röselein
Gen Frost und Gluth in deine Gnade ein,
Laß alle Lieb' in dieser Rose blühen,
Dann singt das ganze hohe Lied:
Ach, unsre Rose blüht!

Wie rosigt blüht das Röslein aller Rosen
Und lacht mit solcher Herzempfindlichkeit,
Daß selbst die Lilie ihr zu Dienst sich weiht,
Mit keiner andern Blume zu liebkosen,
Weil aller Unschuld Seelenfried'
Aus diesem Röslein blüht.

About the headline (FAQ)

Confirmed with Clemens Brentano's Gesammelte Schriften. Herausgegeben von Christian Brentano, Vierter Band. Der kleinen Schriften erster Theil, Frankfurt am Main, J. D. Sauerländer's Verlag, 1852, page 76, in Blätter aus dem Tagebuch der Ahnfrau, a prose piece. It's indicated to be sung by a character named Cornelia and embedded without a title. It appears to be an adaptation of Weise's "Die Rose" and may or may not be by Brentano himself (i.e., he may be quoting someone else's adaptation of the poem).
