Original text and translations

English.png English translation

The rose in the garden
has bent her gentle head,
The heart her heavy sorrows
in bitter tears has shed;
Ah! say, thou beauteous Rose-Queen,
Why look'st thou then so sad?
Ah! say, poor drooping spirit,
Canst make no other glad?
The rose must droop and wither,
As Autumn's chill draws nigh:
The heart in lonely yearning,
Makes heavy moan and sigh.
Translation by Mrs Cary-Elwes
 

German.png German text

Die Rose in dem Garten
ihr Köpfchen leise neigt,
Das herz mit seinem Kummer
und seinen Thränen schweigt;
O sage, schöne Rose,
was bist du denn so trüb?
O sage, junge Seele,
hast du denn niemand lieb?
Die Rose muss sich senken,
es fliegt der Staub umher;
Einsam in stummer Sehnsucht,
Wie lebt die Seele schwer!
