by Moritz Saint-Thomas (b. c1813)

Rosen nicket ihr doch zu
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Rosen nicket ihr doch zu,
Sagt zu ihr: wie schön bist du! 
Vöglein, singt und fliegt herbei,
Singet ihr, wie schön sie sei. 

Nelken und Jasminenstrauch,
Duftet ihr's entgegen auch;
Lüftchen, komm aus blauen Höh'n,
Weh' ihr zu: was bist du schön! 

Sag', mein Lied, auch du es ihr,
Sag' ihr, ich vertraut' es dir;
Wenn sie mich auch immer flieht,
Flieht sie dich wohl nicht, mein Lied.
