Das macht das dunkelgrüne Laub, Daß der Wald so schattig ist; Das macht die schöne Maienzeit Daß so roth das Röslein ist. Mein's Schatzes Lieb' war das Röslein roth, Das blüht am Waldesrain, Und das grüne Laub, und das grüne Laub, Als wie die Gedanken mein. Nun ging die schöne Maienzeit, Und die schöne Liebe zur Ruh', Nun fällt auch das Laub, auch das Laub herab, Und decket das Röslein zu.

The dark green foliage is the cause Of the forest being so shady; The lovely May-time is the cause Of the little rose being so red. My darling’s love was the little red rose That blooms on the forested slope, And the green leaves, and the green leaves Were like my thoughts. Now the lovely May-time And the beautiful love have gone to rest, Now the leaves, too, the leaves, too, Fall and cover up the little rose.
