Neunerlei Blumen winde zum Kranz
Language: German (Deutsch)
Neunerlei Blumen winde zum Kranz, Knüpfe den Anfang ans Ende, Sinn und Bedeutung im blühenden Glanz Wirket zur Sonnenwende. Aber zum kleinen, [zierlichen]1 Strauß Brauchst du nicht lange zu wählen, Nimm, was du findest, und scheide nicht aus, Laß nur den Liebsten sie zählen. Rispen und Ähren, du zitterig Gras, Ihr sollt sie all' überragen, [Ehrenpreis, vom]2 Thaue noch naß, Wirst dich mit Nelke vertragen. Primel und Heide und Weidenröslein, Rührmichnichtan und Gamander, Erdbeer', du rothe, mitten hinein, Seht doch! ihr paßt zu einander. Spinnlein, bleib' sitzen, du bringest ja Glück! Aber du, Raupe, entweiche! Hinter des Labkrauts Sterne zurück, Röthliche Blätter der Eiche! Unten ums Wintergrün, dunkel und kraus, Will ich das Bändchen nun legen, Blumen vom Walde, wildwüchsiger Strauß, Duftet dem Liebsten entgegen!

Twine nine kinds of flowers into a wreath
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Twine nine kinds of flowers into a wreath, Attach the beginning to the end, Work spirit and meaning in a blossoming radiance For the summer solstice. But for a little, [delicate]1 bouquet You need not spend a long time choosing, Take what you find and do not exclude any [flowers], Only let your beloved count them. Panicles and wheat-ears, you trembling grasses, You are to top them all, [Speedwell]2, still wet with dew, You shall harmonize with the carnation. Primula and heather and fireweed, Touch-me-not balsam and germander, You red strawberry right in the middle, Just see! you go together. Little spider, stay here, for you bring good luck! But you, caterpillar, be gone! Get behind the stars of the lady's bedstraw, Ruddy leaves of the oak! Below, around the ripple ivy, dark and curly, I shall now tie the ribbon, Flowers of the forest, a wild-grown bouquet Sends its scents toward the beloved!
