by Conrad Beyer (1834 - 1906)

Rose und Perle
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du gleichst der zarten Rose 
Auf hohen Felsenrand, 
Umspielt von lauen Lüften, 
Holdgrüßend in das Land. 

Du gleichst auch einer Perle 
Tief auf des Meeres Grund, 
Hellstrahlend durch die Wogen, 
Ein wunderbarer Fund. 

Ach, könnt' ich pflücken die Rose 
Und fischen die Perle zugleich, 
Dann wär' ich ja auf Erden 
Mehr als ein König reich!

Confirmed with Die neue Sängerhalle, dritter Jahrgang, ed. by Müller von der Werra, Leipzig: Robert Friese, 1864, page 281. Appears in issue no. 36 dated 3 September 1864.
