The rose
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The rose, the rose did sweet complain, That all too soon her scent was waning, Which late the spring had given to her. And then I said, to ease her pain, That in my song she now was reigning, With life immortal to her given!
Note: from a Rubinstein score. It is unclear which of the two translators listed on the front page wrote this particular translation.
