by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)
Meine Rose
Language: German (Deutsch)
Dem holden Lenzgeschmeide, Der Rose, meiner Freude, Die schon gebeugt und blasser Vom heißen Strahl der Sonnen, Reich' ich den Becher Wasser Aus tiefem Bronnen. Du Rose meines Herzens! Vom stillen Strahl des Schmerzens Bist du gebeugt und blasser; Ich möchte dir zu Füßen, Wie dieser Blume Wasser, Still meine Seele gießen! Könnt' ich dann auch nicht sehen Dich auferstehen.
