[Auf einem]1 jungen Rosenblatt Mein Liebster mir geblasen hat Wohl eine Melodei. Es [gab]2 mir [Dinge viele]3 kund, Das Rosenblatt am roten Mund, Und war kein Wort dabei. Und als das Blatt zerblasen war, Da gab ich meinen Mund ihm dar Und küßt an ihm mich satt. Und viel mehr Dinge that noch kund Der rote Mund am roten Mund, [Selbst]4 als das Rosenblatt.

[Upon]1 a young roseleaf My beloved whistled for me A melody. It told me many things, That roseleaf against red lips, And yet no word was spoken. And when the leaf had been torn from the whistling, I gave to him my lips And kissed him until I was satisfied. Many, many more things were told By the red lips against the red lips [Than]2 by the roseleaf.
