by Hans Schmidt (1854 - 1923)

Rosen brach ich nachts mir am dunklen...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE ITA SPA
Rosen brach ich nachts mir am dunklen Hage;
Süßer hauchten Duft sie als je am Tage;
Doch verstreuten reich die bewegten Äste
Tau, der mich näßte.

Auch der Küsse Duft mich wie nie berückte,
Die ich nachts vom Strauch deiner Lippen pflückte:
Doch auch dir, bewegt im Gemüt gleich jenen,
Tauten die Tränen.
