by Friedrich Wilhelm Traugott Schöpff (1826 - 1916), as Wilfried von der Neun

Röselein, Röselein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA
Röselein, Röselein,
Müssen denn Dornen sein?
Schlief am schatt'gen Bächelein
Einst zu süssem Träumen ein,
Sah in goldner Sonne-Schein
Dornenlos ein Röselein,
Pflückt' es auch und küsst' es fein,
"Dornloses Röselein!"

Ich erwacht' und schaute drein:
"Hatt' ich's doch! wo mag es sein?"
Rings im weiten Sonnenschein
Standen nur Dornröselein!
Und das Bächlein lachte mein:
"Lass du nur dein Träumen sein!
Merk' dir's fein, merk' dir's fein,
Dornröslein müssen sein!"
