Do not bow down so sadly
Language: English after the Swabian (Schwäbisch)
Do not bow down so sadly,
Rose, though it is already growing autumnal,
For you shall bloom again in the springtime,
And perhaps even more beautifully.--
To grow wilted when young and nevertheless live,
To bloom again after a short rest--
Rose, look, what would I give
If I could die as you do!
