by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)

Ich wand ein Sträußlein Morgens früh
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Ich wand ein [Sträußlein Morgens]1 früh,
Das ich der Liebsten [schickte]2;
Nicht ließ ich sagen ihr, von wem,
Und wer die Blumen [pflückte]3.

[Doch]4 als ich Abends kam zum Tanz
Und that verstohlen und [sachte]5,
Da trug sie die Nelken am Busenlatz
Und schaute mich an und [lachte]6.
