by Rhingulf Eduard Wegener (b. 1821)

Ach hätte die Rose Flügel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ach hätte die Rose Flügel, 
sie flöge hinüber zu dir,
und brächte dir tausend Grüsse, 
und du wüsstest sie kämen von mir.

O könnte die Rose [singen]1,
ich sendete sie an dich
und sie sänge dir dieses Liedchen,
und du dächtest dabei an mich.

Sie kann nicht fliegen, nicht singen!
Ich bin der Sehnsucht [so müd]2,
drum fliege ich selber und bringe
dir [Gruß und Rose und]3 Lied.
