Knabe, dir gefiel die [duft'ge]1 Rose,
Als sie glühend hing am grünen Strauch,
Aufgeküßt vom warmen Sonnenstrahle,
Rothgeküßt vom warmen Frühlingshauch.

Und mit Schmeicheln hast du sie gebrochen,
Statt geliebt, verlassen sie darauf, -- --
Ach, wer hebt die [hingeworfne]2 Rose,
Die am Boden liegt verwelkend, auf?
