Wo gehst du hin, du Stolze? Was hab ich dir getan, Daß du an mir vorbeigehst, Und siehst mich gar nicht an? Seh ich dich kommen, grüß ich dich, Du gehst vorbei und dankst mir nicht; Es wird die Stunde kommen, Wo du noch denkst an mich! Die Rosen, die im Walde erblühn In frischer Pracht, Bald sind sie abgefallen, Verblühet über Nacht. Fällt eine Rose in den Staub, So blüht die andre auf am Strauch, Und ist es nicht die eine, Die andere mir lacht.

Waar ga je heen, verwaande? Wat heb ik jou misdaan, Dat jij aan mij voorbijgaat En zelfs mij kijkt niet aan? Ik groet jou als 'k je komen zie, Jij gaat voorbij en dankt mij niet; Het uur zal nog eens komen Dat 'k jou te binnen schiet! De rozen die in 't bos staan In bloei in frisse pracht, Straks zijn ze afgevallen, Verbloeid in slechts één nacht. Valt één der rozen in het stof, Een and're fleurt de struik weer op, En is het niet de ene, Dan d' and're naar mij lacht.
