Kleine Blume im engen Thal

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Kleine Blume im engen Thal,
Dich auch fand der Sonne Strahl,
Armes Herz in der kranken Brust,
Dir auch ward der Liebe Lust.

Und die Blume das Köpfchen hing,
Als die Sonne weiter ging,
Und das Herz es brach entzwei
Als das kurze Glück vorbei!

Sunny glimpse

NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Little flower in the narrow valley,
The rays of the sun found you too;
Poor heart in the sick bosom,
You too have experienced love's joy.

And the flower hung its little head
When the sun passed on;
And the heart broke in two
When the short happiness was past!
