Warum?
 (Sung text for setting by E. Meyer-Helmund)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Warum, wenn mir's am Tag gelang,
Mit dir, mein Lieb, zu kosen,
Träum' ich oft ganze Nächte lang
Von nichts als wilden Rosen?

Und - blick' ich wilde Rosen an,
Wo ich am Tage gehe,
Wie kommt es, Mädchen, dass ich dann
Dich nachts im Traume sehe?
