Lied des Gärtners
 (Sung text for setting by M. Zenger)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Laßt euch pflücken, laßt euch pflücken,
Lichte Blümlein, meine Lust!
Denn ihr sollet lieblich schmücken
Meiner schönsten Fürstin Brust.

Glühet purpurn nach der Süßen,
Äugelt blau empor zu ihr!
Ach! ihr müßt es endlich büßen,
Sinken ohne Glanz und Zier.

Einst auch glühten meine Wangen,
Meine Augen hin nach ihr:
Nun ist alles Rot vergangen,
Aller blaue Schimmer mir.
