by Andreas Gryphius, né Greif (1616 - 1664)

Wie, wenn die Sonn' aufgehet
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wie, wenn die Sonn' aufgehet,
Die Rose blühend stehet,
In ihrer schönsten Zier.
Und doch verwelkt sich [beuget,]1
Wenn sich die Sonne neiget,
So blühen und verwelken wir.

Confirmed with Unterhaltungen mit Gott in den Morgen- und Abendstunden auf jeden Tag des Jahres von Sturm und Tiede, Zweyter Theil, Eilfte von Wilmsen verbesserte Auflage, Reutlingen: bey Carl Friderich Lorenz und Compagnie, 1814, page 299. Note: this appears to be a variant of the eighth stanza of a longer poem, Die Herrlichkeit der Erden.

Note: the first line and Lang's title differ (aufgehet vs. aufgeht)

1 Lang: "zeiget"
