Rosen bröt du för din glada syster

Chosen for Diff

Rosen bröt du för din glada syster,
vallmon höll du själv.
Rosen, flicka, tyder liv och kärlek,
vallmon köld och död.
Anar du ej hjärtats fröjder -- eller,
bleka ängel, säg,
äger du vid femton år ett öde
att beteckna re'n?

Tu cueillis cette rose pour ton heureuse...

Language: French (Français) after the Swedish (Svenska)

Chosen for Diff

Tu cueillis cette rose pour ton heureuse sœur,
gardas pour toi le pavot.
La rose, ô fille, signifie vie et amour,
le pavot froid et mort.
Ne pressens-tu pas la joie du cœur ‑ ou bien,
ange blême, dis-moi,
à l'âge de quinze ans ton destin
est-il déjà scellé ?
