"Kauft Rosen, Herr, kauft Rosen!" "Was sollen mir die Rosen?" "Ei, die sollt Ihr Eurer Liebsten schenken." "Ich habe keine!" "Und wenn Ihr keine Liebste habt, Wann die Rosen blühn, Wenn die Herzen glüh'n, Dann lägt' Ihr besser im tiefen Grab! Wenn Euch kein Liebmädel herzen mag." "Um die Rosenzeit, um die Rosenzeit."
