by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

O sprich, was willst du dich schämen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O sprich, was willst du dich schämen,
Daß ich dich, Weinende, sah?
Es wohnen Lieben und Grämen
Im jungen Herzen so nah.

Nimm hier im blühenden Moose
Dein lieblich Gleichnis in acht:
Am Tage lächelt die Rose
Und steht in Tränen bei Nacht.
