by August Becker (1828 - 1891)

Als hätt' es Rosen heut' Nacht geschneit
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Als hätt' es Rosen heut' Nacht geschneit, 
So liegt jetzt die Aue weit und breit.
O Rosen der Liebe, wie blüht ihr so schön! 
Wie glühet mein Herz und wie glühen die Höhn! 
Wie lieblich, wie herrlich, wie schön ist die Welt,
Wenn vom Himmel die Lieb' in ein Menschenherz fällt!
