  Es hat die Rose sich beklagt,
Daß gar zu schnell der Duft verwehe,
Den ihr der Lenz gegeben habe --

  Da hab' ich ihr zum Trost gesagt,
Daß er durch meine Lieder wehe
Und dort ein ew'ges Leben habe.

The rose has complained

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Urspruch)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

  The rose has complained
That the scent, given to her by springtime,
Dissipates all too quickly --

  Thereupon I comforted her by saying
That it wafts through my songs
And has an eternal life there.
