by Gustav Pfarrius (1800 - 1884)

Die wilde Rose mag ich nicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
"Die wilde Rose mag ich nicht
Mit ihren Tücken, 
Sie duftet schwach, ist blaß und sticht,
Will man sie pflücken."

Er zog aus seiner Heimath Gau 
Nach fernen Landen, 
Wo Wunderblumen himmelblau 
Und golden standen. 

"O wilde Rose, zart und blaß,
Von schwachem Hauche,
Was sucht dich denn ohn' Unterlaß  
Mein sehnend Auge?"

Und nach der Heimath zog zurück
Der Freudelose,
Da war sie seines Lebens Glück,
Die wilde Rose.
