by Johannes Martin Miller (1750 - 1814)

An ein verwelktes Röschen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Röschen, wie beneid ich dich!
Glücklich warest du vor allen;
Sylvien hast du gefallen,
Und sie brach und wählte dich.

Allen Jünglingen zur Luft,
Blühtest du an ihrer Brust.
Und dann war dein Tod so süß!

Als du Abends welktest, ließ
Sie auf dich ein Thranehen fallen.
O wie neid' ich dich vor allen!
O wie war dein Tod so süß!
