Rosen fliehen nicht allein Und die Lenzgesänge, Auch dein Wangenrosenschein, Deine süßen Klänge. O, daß ich, ein Tor, ein Tor, Meinen Himmel räumte! Daß ich einen Blick verlor, Einen Hauch versäumte! Rosen wecken Sehnsucht hier, Dort die Nachtigallen, Mädchen, und ich möchte dir In die Arme fallen!
O. Schoeck sets stanzas 1, 3

Les roses ne sont pas seules à s'enfuir, De même les chansons du printemps, L'éclat rose de tes joues Et le doux son de ta voix. Ô fallait-il que je fus idiot, idiot, Pour détruire mon ciel, Que je perde un regard, Que je néglige un soupir ! Ici les roses réveillent la nostalgie, Là-bas ce sont les rossignols, Mignonne, et je voudrais Tomber dans tes bras !
