Fliederblüte
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wir sassen zusammen im grünen Hag
Am wunderseligen Maientag,
Umkost von wonnigem Blütenduft,
Umrauscht von würziger Frühlingsluft;
Die Nachtigall sang ihre süssen Liebeslieder.
Es blühte der Flieder.

"Was weinest, mein Lieb, du in solcher Stund',
Wo selig sich presset Mund auf Mund,
Wo alles ringsum uns hold duftet und blüht
Und in uns die Liebe so wonniglich glüht?
Und muss ich auch scheiden, so kehr' ich doch wieder,
Wenn neu blüht der Flieder!"

Und als ich zurückkam aus fernem Land,
Mein trautes Herzlieb ich doch nimmermehr fand.
Sie führten zu einem Hügel mich hin,
Da lag mein armes Feinsliebchen drin,
Und rings wehten süsse Düfte hernieder.
Es blühte der Flieder.
