Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Dem holden Lenzgeschmeide,
Der Rose, meiner Freude,
Die schon gebeugt und blasser
Vom heißen Strahl der Sonnen,
Reich' ich den Becher Wasser
Aus [tiefem]1 Bronnen.
Du Rose meines Herzens!
Vom stillen Strahl des Schmerzens
Bist du gebeugt und blasser;
Ich möchte dir zu Füßen,
Wie dieser Blume Wasser,
Still meine Seele gießen!
Könnt' ich dann auch nicht sehen
Dich [auferstehen]2.

Mijn roos
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Het mooie lentesieraad,
De roos, mijn harteweldaad,
Reeds omgeknikt en bleker,
Door 't zonvuur overwonnen,
Reik ik de waterbeker
Uit diepe1 bronnen.
Jij roos, mijn zielsgewijde!
De stille straal van 't lijden
Maakte jou krom en bleker;
Ik goot graag aan je voeten
Mijn ziel leeg als een beker,
Daar bloemen drinken moeten!
Al is 't mij niet gegeven,
Jou op te zien leven2.

1 Schumann: donk're, diepe bronnen.
2 Schumann: jou blij op te zien leven.
