by Karl Johann, Ritter Braun von Braunthal (1802 - 1866)

Ich ging, den Blick zur Erde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich ging, den Blick zur Erde,
Am Wiesenbach' hinauf,
Ein Veilchen sah ich blühen, 
Das Veilchen nahm ich auf, 

Ich schritt am Bache weiter,
Halb meiner unbewußt, 
Da sah ich eine Rose, 
Die nahm ich an die Brust. 

Und weiter, weiter schreitend 
Am klaren Bache hin, 
Verlor ich beide Blümchen, 
Und kam -- an Rosmarin[.]
