Die Rose sprach zum Mägdelein
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Rose sprach zum Mägdelein: Ich muß dir ewig dankbar sein, Daß du mich an den Busen drückst Und mich mit deiner Huld beglückst. Das Mägdlein sprach: O Röslein mein, Bild dir nur nicht zu viel drauf ein, Daß du mir Aug und Herz entzückst. Ich liebe dich, weil du mich schmückst.
