by Richard Volkmann (1830 - 1889)

Sieh, du hast den bunten Strauss
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
"Sieh, du hast den bunten Strauß
Mir am Busen ganz zerknickt",
Spricht mein Lieb, wenn gar zu fest
An das Herz sie mich gedrückt.

"Und du küßt mich viel zu oft,
Alle Leute sagen's doch!"
Spricht mein süßes Lieb zu mir,
Spricht mein Lieb und küßt mich noch.

"Warum weinst du?" sprach mein Lieb,
Als ich von ihr scheiden ging;
Und an ihrer Wimper Saum
Perlend Trän' an Träne hing.

Confirmed with Richard v. Volkmann-Leander, Kleine Geschichten und Gedichte, Leipzig: Druck und Verlag von Philipp Reclam jun., 1920, page 49.
