by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)
Meine Rose
Language: German (Deutsch)
Dem holden Lenzgeschmeide, Der Rose, meiner Freude, Die schon gebeugt und blasser Vom heißen Strahl der Sonnen, Reich' ich den Becher Wasser Aus [tiefem]1 Bronnen. Du Rose meines Herzens! Vom stillen Strahl des Schmerzens Bist du gebeugt und blasser; Ich möchte dir zu Füßen, Wie dieser Blume Wasser, Still meine Seele gießen! Könnt' ich dann auch nicht sehen Dich [auferstehen]2.
