by Ludwig Rellstab (1799 - 1860)
Verlangen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich weiss im grünen Walde Ein Röslein wunderschön, So jung, so zart [entfaltet]1, So lieblich anzusehn. Es schaut aus grünen Blättern Mich engelfreundlich an Und lockt mit süßem Duften Unwiderstehlich an. Mich treibt's, an Herz zu drücken Des Rösleins frische Zier; Doch wehrt das scheue Zagen Der jungen Liebe mir. O möcht' sich's zu mir neigen Das Röslein wunderhold; Am Herzen wollt' ich's tragen, Bis daß ich sterben sollt.
