Veilchen überall
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bei jedem Strauch
mit süßem Duft
ein Veilchen blüht;
in jedem Hauch
der Morgenluft
der Frühling glüht.

Bei jedem Gruß
aus dunklem Grund
der Augen dein,
bei jedem Kuss
von deinem Mund
gewahr' ich sein.

Mir fehlt der Klang
für dieses Glück
wie nie im Schmerz.
Und selig bang
und weinend drück'
ich dich ans Herz.

In ev'ry wreath
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
In ev'ry wreath
of fragrance rare
a violet blows!
In ev'ry breath
of morning air
the springtime glows.

In ev'ry bliss
I fondly greet
dark eyes of thine;
in ev'ry kiss
thy lips repeat,
I all divine!

I fail to ward
love's happiness
as ne'er its smart.
And trembling guard
and weeping press
thee on my heart.
