Bei Schenkung eines Flügels

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Die Orange und Myrthe hier
Und rings der Blumen Zier,
Und in der Mitte ein Flügel fein,
Das muß wohl von meinem Liebsten sein.
 
Er sei Dir werth; wie schön sie blüht,
Die Blume verblüht; was tiefer glüht,
Du hegst es im Herzen auf [treuem Herd]¹;
Die Kunst sie bleib Dir werth!
 
Und kann ich nicht immer bei dir sein,
Eil' dann zum Freund und denke mein!
Doch denk' ich daß wir in allen Tagen
All Leid und Freud zusammentragen.

Bij schenking van een vleugel

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Sinaasappels en mirte hier,
Rondom ook bloemensier,
En in het midden een vleugel fijn,
Dat moet wel van mijn geliefde zijn.
 
Hij zij jou lief; hoe mooi zij bloeit,
De bloem, zij verwelkt; wat dieper gloeit,
Je draagt het in 't harte, je hartedief;
De kunst zij steeds jou lief!
 
En kan ik niet altijd zijn jou nabij,
Zoek vlug je vriend en denk aan mij!
Toch denk ik dat wij wel alle dagen
Verdriet en vreugd tezamen dragen.
