by Hermann von Gilm zu Rosenegg (1812 - 1864)

Es steht mein Lied in Nacht und Frost
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Es steht mein Lied in Nacht und Frost, 
Die alles Leben tödten, 
Und harrt vergebens, ob der Ost 
Nicht wieder mag erröthen. 

So steht es nun ein ganzes Jahr 
In dieser Nacht, der kalten, 
Und dennoch grünt's noch immerdar, 
Wer hat es wohl erhalten ? 

Du nicht, du nicht, von aller Welt 
Bewundert und beneidet. 
Der hat's getan, der auf dem Feld 
Die Lilien [bekleidet]1.
