by Otto Roquette (1824 - 1896)

Wenn die ersten Veilchen blühn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wenn die ersten Veilchen blühn
Ist die Rosenzeit nicht fern.
Mädchenwangen rosig glühn,
Trifft sie ein geliebter Stern.
 
Scheitert an der Blicke Klippen
Nicht der Mund zu bittrem Leid,
Von den Augen zu den Lippen
Ist es dann nicht allzuweit.

Confirmed with Otto Roquette, Liederbuch, Stuttgart und Tübingen: J.G. Cotta’scher Verlag, 1852, page 60
