by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Nun stehn die Rosen in Blüte
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Nun [stehn]1 die Rosen in Blüte, 
Da wirft die [Lieb']2 ein Netzlein aus. 
Du schwanker, loser Falter, 
Du hilfst dir nimmer heraus!

Und wenn ich wäre gefangen 
In dieser [jungen]3 Rosenzeit, 
Und wär's die Haft der Liebe, 
Ich müßte vergehen vor Leid.

Ich mag nicht [sehnen und]4 sorgen; 
Durch blühende Wälder schweift mein Lauf. 
Die [luft'gen]5 Lieder fliegen 
Bis in die Wipfel hinauf.
