by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)
Wenn ich früh in den Garten geh'
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn ich früh in den Garten geh' In meinem grünen Hut, Ist mein erster Gedanke, Was nun mein Liebster tut? Am Himmel ist kein Stern, Den ich dem Freund nicht gönnte. Mein Herz gäb' ich ihm gern, Wenn ich's heraus tun könnte.
