by Moritz Anton Grandjean (1821 - 1885)

Ich bat sie um die Rose
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich bat sie um die Rose, 
Sie sprach ein schnelles  "Nein!" 
Ging lachend ihres Weges,  
Ich blieb betrübt allein.  
Es blühn viel tausend Blumen
Und duften um mich her, 
Doch so wie jene Rose 
Find' ich wohl keine mehr.  

Du hast mich arg' betrogen, 
Den Frieden mir geraubt, 
Hast Liebe mir geschworen, 
Ich habe Dir geglaubt. 
Nun hast Du mich verlassen, 
Ich fluch' Dir dennoch nicht, 
Weil tief in meinem Herzen 
Erinn'rung für Dich spricht.
