Translation by Ferdinand Gregorovius (1821 - 1891)

Will dich lehren was von Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Will dich lehren was von Liebe,
Stehe auf am Morgen früh,
Eine Lilie aus dem Garten
Von dem Stengel breche sie.

Setz' an's Feuer sie ein Stündchen,
Laß sie länger kochen nicht:
Und dann wasche mit den Händchen
Dir dein liebes Angesicht.
