Die schönste Blume
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Dutch (Nederlands) 
Umkränzt von wunderschönen Blumen
stand sie am Morgen da;
die schönste wusst' ich nicht zu wählen
der Blumen, die ich sah.

Der Abend kam, die Blümlein senkten
das Haupt zur Erde hin;
sie hob die Augen still nach oben
zum schönen Himmel hin.
