Diese Rose von heimlichen Küssen schwer:
Sieh, das ist unsre Liebe.
Unsre Hände reichen sie hin und her,
unsre Lippen bedecken sie mehr und mehr
mit Worten und Küssen sehnsuchtsschwer,
unsre Seelen grüßen sich hin und her -
wie über ein Meer - - wie über ein Meer - - -
Diese Rose vom Duft unsrer Seelen schwer:
sieh, das ist unsre Liebe.

Our love
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
This rose, rich with furtive kisses:
Look: this is our love.
Our hands pass it back and forth,
Our lips cover it more and more
With words and kisses rich with longing;
Our souls greet each other, back and forth -
As if across an ocean -- as if across an ocean --
This rose, rich with the fragrance of our souls:
Look, this is our love.
