Dear little soul, leave off your...
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Dear little soul, leave off your questioning: What shall springtime bring me? Bright green grass, sweet woodruff, And, before all else, violets. Also heartache and womanly favour Flourish in these days, A little luck, a little blame, -- Dear little soul, leave off your questioning!
