Rosen
 (Sung text for setting by W. Courvoisier)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Ach gestern hat er mir Rosen gebracht,
Sie haben geduftet die ganze Nacht,
Für ihn geworben, der meiner denkt --
Da hab' ich den Traum einer Nacht ihm geschenkt.

Und heute geh' ich und lächle stumm,
Trag seine Rosen mit mir herum
Und warte und lausche, und geht die Thür,
So zittert mein Herz: ach, käm' er zu mir!

Und küsse die Rosen, die er mir gebracht,
Und gehe und suche den Traum der Nacht.
