by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Wann die Rosen aufgeblüht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Wann die Rosen aufgeblüht,
Geht der Lenz zu Ende;
Wann die Sonn' am höchsten glüht,
Naht die Sonnenwende.

Alles Leben muß hinab,
Das nicht mehr kann steigen:
Und so will ich in mein Grab
Mich, o Liebchen, neigen.

Da die Lieb' ich fand, um was
Könnt' ich hier noch werben?
Thu den Arm mir auf und laß
Mich im Kusse sterben!
