Blumentrauer
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Ein Blümlein welkt im Garten In stiller Traurigkeit; Wer will sein sorgsam warten In dieser rauhen Zeit? Komm, Blümlein, laß dich pflücken; Eh noch dein Glanz erstirbt, Sollst du das Herz mir schmücken, Das bald wie du verdirbt! Bald stirbt an unserm Leide Die letzte Wurzel ab, Dann leget man uns beide In ein gemeinsam Grab.
