Rose, Meer und Sonne Sind ein Bild der Liebsten mein, Die mit ihrer Wonne Faßt mein ganzes Leben ein. Aller Glanz, ergossen, Aller Tau der Frühlingsflur Liegt vereint beschlossen In dem Kelch der Rose nur. Alle Farben ringen, [Alle Düft']1 im Lenzgefild', Um hervorzubringen Im Verein der Rose Bild. Rose, Meer und Sonne Sind ein Bild der Liebsten mein, Die mit ihrer Wonne Faßt mein ganzes Leben ein. Alle Ströme haben Ihren Lauf auf Erden bloß, Um sich zu begraben Sehnend in des Meeres Schoß. Alle Quellen fließen In den unerschöpften Grund, Einen Kreis zu schließen Um der Erde blüh'ndes Rund. Rose, Meer und Sonne Sind ein Bild der Liebsten mein, Die mit ihrer Wonne Faßt mein ganzes Leben ein. Alle Stern' in Lüften Sind ein Liebesblick der Nacht, In des Morgens Düften Sterbend, wann der Tag erwacht. Alle Weltenflammen, Der zerstreute Himmelsglanz, Fließen hell zusammen In der Sonne Strahlenkranz. Rose, Meer und Sonne Sind ein Bild der Liebsten mein, Die mit ihrer Wonne Faßt mein ganzes Leben ein.

Rose, ocean and sun are the image of my beloved, who with her rapture envelopes my entire life. All the splendour, gushing forth, all the dew of the spring meadow, lies hidden and united only in the chalice of the rose. All the colors strive, all the scents in the spring meadow, to bring forth as one the image of the rose. Rose, ocean and sun are the image of my beloved, who with her rapture envelopes my entire life. All the rivers have merely their course on earth, so that they can bury themselves longingly in the lap of the ocean. All the springs flow into the inexhaustible depths, to close a circle about the blossoming roundness of the earth. Rose, ocean and sun are the image of my beloved, who with her rapture envelopes my entire life. All the stars in the sky are glances of love in the night, dying in the scent of morning when the day awakens. All the flames of the world, the scattered splendour of the heavens, flow brightly together into a garland of sunbeams. Rose, ocean and sun are the image of my beloved, who with her rapture envelopes my entire life.
