by Alfred Friedmann (1845 - 1923)

Ich weiß mir wo ein Röslein blühn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich weiß mir wo ein Röslein [blühn]1
Und kann es nicht erlangen,
Ich weiß mir wo ein Sternlein glühn,
Kann nicht zu ihm gelangen!

Ich weiß mir wo zwei Auglein glühn,
Die wollen mich nicht grüßen:
Geh', Liedlein, das ich sang in Grün,
Und leg' dich Ihr zu Füßen.
