by Ernst Viktor Schellenberg (1827 - 1896), as Ernst Veit

Die Rosen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Zwei Röslein, zwei Schwestern, 
Die blühen mir zur Zeit, 
Das eine heißt Gestern 
Das andere heißt Heut. 

Sie wachsen all' beide 
Am selben Dornenreis, 
Zu Lust und zu Leide, 
Eins roth, das and're weiß. 

Das dritt' unter Decken 
Am Reis noch schlummert still, 
Mein Gott wird es wecken, 
Wohl wie und wann er will. 

Welkt Heut auch und Gestern, 
Das dritte blüht allzeit, 
Die dritte der Schwestern, 
Das ist die Ewigkeit.

Confirmed with Ernst Veit, Kleines Lieder- und Bilderbuch, Dresden: G. Schönfeld's Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1876, page 71.
