Der Garten des Herzens
 (Sung text for setting by G. Meyerbeer)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In meines Herzens Mitte blüht ein Gärtchen,
Verschlossen ist es durch ein kleines Pförtchen,
Zu dem den Schlüssel führt mein liebes Mädchen.

Es ist April, komm, wolle dich nicht schämen,
Und pflücke dir heraus die liebsten Blumen!
Sie drängen sich entgegen deinen Händen.

Je mehr du pflückst, je mehr sie wieder sprossen,
Doch willst du unberührt sie blühen lassen,
So werden sie vor ihrer Zeit vertrocknen.
