by Heinrich Landesmann (1821 - 1902), as Hieronymus Lorm-Landesmann

Zwei Rosen geb' ich scheidend dir
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zwei Rosen geb' ich scheidend dir,
Herz-Liebchen, wahr' sie sorgsam mir.
Die rote soll am Fenster steh'n,
Find' ich dich treu beim Wiederseh'n.
Doch bist  --  du falsch und nicht mehr mein:
Die weiße soll das Zeichen sein.

Ich schied und als ich kam zurück,
Dem Fenster galt mein erster Blick.
Da stand sie selbst, verstört und bleich  --
Die weiße Rose kannt ich gleich.
