by Felix Ludwig Julius Dahn (1834 - 1912)

Du mein edles Blümlein, Blümlein jung...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Du mein edles Blümlein, Blümlein jung und zart,
Sage mir, o sage, bist du treuer Art?
Bist du eine Rose, die's mit jedem treibt?
Bist du eine Lilie, die beständig bleibt?
Bist ein' eitle Tulpe, die sich zum Lobe reckt?
Bist ein stilles Veilchen, das sich gern versteckt?
Bist du falsch und eitel, -- sag' mir's offen an,
Weil ich keine solche Blume lieben kann;
Doch bist du eine Lilie oder ein Veilchen gar,
Dann will ich dich lieben jetzt und immerdar.
