Når kommer rosen tiden?
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Du første rose, du, som jeg ser i disse fremmede dale, med åbne læber du til mig ler, ej sandt, du kan hviske og tale? Så sig mig og svar: Er ej rosen-tid snart, snart på vinger at vente for en, den du ved; ja, bøj dig hid, et ord fra mit hjerte at hente -- For en, så stolt og så tro som guld, som aldrig undte mig det ilde -- Jeg breder hende vejen af torne fuld, alt det jeg end bedre vilde.

Wann kommt die Rosenzeit?
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Du erste Rose, du, die ich seh, In dieses Thales Eden, Dein Lächeln weckt mir süßes Weh, Doch süß auch mußt du nun reden. O, sag mir es doch, ob der Lenz nicht hier, Bald, bald, mit Flügeln erblühet Für sie, die du kennst, o sag es mir; Für sie ja mein Herze erglühet! Für sie, die stolz, voll treuem Muth, Die Weh mir niemals konnte bringen; Den dornenvollen Weg mach' ich breit und gut, Der Liebe, o, muß Alles gelingen.
