Translation by Siegfried Kapper (1821 - 1879)

Zwei Rosen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Czech (Čeština) 
Im Nachbargarten ein Röslein knospt,
In unsrem Garten ein zweites;
Ein Bächlein fließt zwischen Beiden so schmal,
Für die Knospen ein viel zu breites.

Der Thau so süß, die Sonne so mild,
Zwei Knospen werden zwei Rosen;
Die Lüftchen so lau, die Röslein so roth,
Die möchten einander wohl kosen.

Sie schauen sich an, so liebesbang,
Bis daß sie beide erbleichen --
Sie reichen die Hände sich immerdar,
Und können sich nimmer erreichen.
