by Matthias Jacob Schleiden (1804 - 1881), as Ernst

Die Blumen vergehen, der Sommer ist hin
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die Blumen vergehen, der Sommer ist hin,
Die Blätter verwehen. Das trübt mir den Sinn.
Ein Röslein, das bracht' ich im Sommer ins Haus,
Es hält ihn, so dacht' ich, den Winter wohl aus.
Die Vögelein sangen, es lauschte der Hain,
Die Rehlein, sie sprangen im Mondenschein,
Der Blümlein so viel hier erblühten im Tal,
Von allen gefiel mir das Röslein zumal.

Der Herbst ist gekommen, der Sturm braust heran,
Die Luft ist verglommen, der Winter begann.
Gern wollt' ich nicht klagen um Stürme und Schnee,
Könnt's Röslein ertragen das eisige Weh!
O schon' mir die Zarte, das liebliche Kind,
Die Eiche, die harte, umbrause du, Wind!
Blüh', Röslein, ohn' Bangen, von Liebe bewacht,
Bis Winter vergangen und Mai wieder lacht!
