Blauveilchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Am stillen Pfad im Märzetau stund Blauveilchen,
der junge Wandrer schaut' es an ein Weilchen.
Da neigt er sich hinab und will es pflücken,
Blauveilchen aber schaut ihn an mit Blicken,
als sagt' es Nein! Der Wandrer sieht's mit Tränen,
er lässt das Blümlein stehn und geht voll Sehnen,
voll Sehnen.

Blue violet
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
On the quiet path in the March dew stood a blue violet;
the young walker looked at it for a while.
He bent down and wanted to pick it,
but the blue violet turned to him and gave him a look
as if to say 'No'. The walker looked at it through tears;
he left the flower standing and went on, full of longing,
full of longing.
