by August Becker (1828 - 1891)

Den schönsten Rosen möcht' ich sagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Den schönsten Rosen [möcht']1 ich sagen
Wie ihre Wange schöner blüht;
Und alle Sterne möcht' ich fragen,
Ob einer wie ihr Auge glüht.

Und alle Herzen möcht' ich fragen,
Ob eines wie das meine liebt,
Möcht' allen glücklichen noch sagen,
Daß es so glücklich keins mehr giebt.
