Du rote Rose auf grüner Heid'
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du rote Rose auf grüner Heid', Wer hieß dich blühn? Du heißes Herz in tiefem Leid, Was will dein Glühn? Es braust der Sturm vom Berg herab, Dich knickt er um; Es gräbt die Liebe ein stilles Grab, Du bist dann stumm. Denk nicht an Tod, an Leben denk In Lieb und Lust, Dich selber wirf als dein Geschenk An meine Brust. Ich weiß es ja, daß du mich liebst In Überfluß, O Seligkeit! wenn du mir giebst Den ersten Kuß. Geschrieben steht am Sternenzelt, Du wärest mein; Was fragt die Liebe nach der Welt Und ihrem Schein? Um meinen Nacken schling den Arm, Preß Mund auf Mund, Ruhst anders nicht so süß und warm Im weiten Rund. Versink, vergiß im Wonnerausch Der Erde Zeit, Giebst für den Augenblick in Tausch Die Ewigkeit. Komm! daß du meine Sehnsucht stillst, O Königin! Und wenn du meine Seele willst, So nimm sie hin!

You red rose upon the green heath
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
You red rose upon the green heath, Who commanded you to bloom? You fervent heart in deep sorrow, What do you hope to accomplish with your burning? The storm is roaring down from the mountain, It shall break you; Love is digging a quiet grave, Then you shall be mute. Do not think of death, think of life In love and delight, As your gift for me, throw yourself Upon my breast. For I know that you love me With overflowing heart, Oh bliss! when you shall give to me The first kiss. It is written upon the firmament of the stars That you are mine; What does love care about the world And its illusions? Fling your arms about my neck, Press lips to lips, Nowhere else in the whole world could you rest So sweetly and warmly. Succumb to the intoxication of rapture, forget Earthly time, You would exchange eternity For this single moment. Come! to appease my yearning, Oh Queen! And if you desire my soul, Then take it!
