Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Es stand eine Rose im tief tiefen Grund,
Von Liebe und Sehnsucht durchglühet,
Kam Keiner, der ihre Schönheit begehrt,
Ist einsam und traurig verblühet.

Ich weiß eine Seele, die glühte so heiß,
Die Liebe, das Glück zu umfangen;
Kam Keiner, der ihre Blüthe begehrt,
Ist einsam zu Grunde gegangen.
