Aus des Nachbars Haus
Trat mein Lieb hinaus,
Hielt ein Röslein in der Hand.
Und ich stand am Zaun,
Konnt' nicht satt mich schau'n,
Nicht ein Wort zum Gruß ich fand!
Und sie sprach zu mir:
"Sieh' dies Röslein hier,
Sieh', das soll dein eigen sein."
In der Rosenzeit
Ward das Herz so weit,
Ward das schönste Röslein mein!

Down the village street
Trips my Lady sweet,
Blooming roses in her hand.
And my heart beats fast
As she comes at last,
Yet in silence here I stand.
Then she speaks to me:
"Look, a rose for thee!
Take and keep it, it is thine!"
In the time of flow'rs
Wak'ning love is ours,
And the sweetest rose is mine.
