Eine Blume weiss ich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Eine Blume hegt die [Erde]1
Wieder jede Wund';
Wenn du nur die rechte findest,
Wirst du auch gesund. 

Eine Blume, weiß ich, blüht auch
Wieder meinen Schmerz;  -- 
Dürft' ich sie nur einmal pressen
An das wunde Herz!

The Healing Flower
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
One among the flowers of earth
heals whate'er the grief;
if thou but the true one findest,
thou wilt have relief.

One there is I know of, that would
heal my inward smart;
o that I but once might press it
on my wounded heart.

From a Goetz score.
