from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Grad Herz, brich nicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Grad Herz, brich nicht,
lieb mich und sags nicht,
liebt du mich,
wie ich dich
bleibt die liebe beständiglich.

Schöne Rose, fall nicht ab,
bis ich komm und brech dich ab:
Wenn mich schon die Dornen stechen,
will ich doch die Ros' abbrechen.

Wer die Rose will abbrechen,
muß nicht achten der Dornen stechen;
Rosendornen stechen sehr,
falsche Liebe noch viel mehr.
