possibly by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Seebild
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
 Ein Fels ragt in den See hinein,
 Wo Wind und Welle kosen!
 Dort wuchern über dem Gestein
 Die jungen wilden Rosen!
 Dort glitt vorüber unser Kahn,
 Und du in heller Freude
 Du streckst die kleinen Hände
 Nach dem duftigen Geschmeide.

 Von Rosen flocht' ich einen Kranz
 In deine blonden Locken!
 Doch, wie dein Blick mich freudig traf,
 Da bin ich still erschrocken,
 Mir ward's als ob der frohe Kranz
 Dir nicht in Freuden bliebe!
 Als brächt' dir einst dieselbe Hand
 Die Dornenkron' der Liebe!
