Ihr Blümlein alle, Die sie mir gab, Euch soll man legen Mit mir in's Grab. Wie seht ihr alle Mich an so weh, Als ob ihr wüßtet, Wie mir gescheh'? Ihr Blümlein alle, Wie welk, wie blaß? Ihr Blümlein alle, Wovon so naß? Ach, Thränen machen Nicht maiengrün, Machen todte Liebe Nicht wieder blühn. Und Lenz wird kommen, Und Winter wird gehn, Und Blümlein werden Im Grase stehn, Und Blümlein liegen In meinem Grab, Die Blümlein alle, Die sie mir gab. Und wenn sie wandelt Am Hügel vorbei, Und denkt im Herzen: Der meint' es treu! Dann Blümlein alle, Heraus, heraus! Der Mai ist kommen, Der Winter ist aus.
J. Lang sets stanza 1

All you little flowers, That she gave me, You shall lie With me in my grave. Why do you all look At me so sadly, As if you had known What would happen to me? You little flowers all, How wilted, how pale! You little flowers all, Why so damp? Ah, tears will not make the green of May, Will not make dead love bloom again. And Spring will come, And Winter will go, And flowers will grow in the grass. And flowers will lie in my grave, all the flowers That she gave me. And when she wanders Past the hill And thinks in her heart: His feelings were true! Then, all you little flowers, Come out, come out, May has come, Winter is over.
