Chosen for Diff

Zwischen den Schlehdornbüschen
Führte der Weg hinan,
Primeln und Anemonen
Sahen uns lächelnd an,
Primeln und Anemonen
Wußten viel mehr als wir --
Roth bis über die Ohren,
Brach ich ein Sträußlein dir.

Between the sloe bushes

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Chosen for Diff

Between the sloe bushes
The pathway led upward,
Primroses and anemones
Looked at us smilingly,
Primroses and anemones
Knew much more than we did --
Blushing furiously
I picked you a posy.
