by Hermann Löns (1866 - 1914)

Das Wahrzeichen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FIN
Die Sommervögel singen
jetzt über Wald und Feld,
nun heißt es Abschied nehmen,
ich fahre in die Welt.
                          
Die Rosen in dem Garten, 
die blühen alle weiß,
mein Schatz hat sie begossen
mit Tränen allzuheiß.
 
Die allzugroße Liebe
bringt allzugroße Pein,
ich wäre gern geblieben,
es sollte nicht so sein.
 
Ums Jahr, da kehr ich wieder,
dann blühn die Rosen rot,
doch sind es lauter weiße,
mein Schatz, dann bin ich tot.
