(1854)
Antwort
Das Röschen, das du mir geschickt,Von deiner lieben Hand gepflückt,Es lebte kaum zum Abendrot,Das Heimweh gab ihm frühen Tod;Nun schwebet gleich sein Geist von hierAls kleines Lied zurück zu dir.
Answer
The little rose you sent me,Picked by your own dear hand,Hardly lived till dusk,Homesickness caused its early death;Its spirit now floats away from hereBack to you as a little song.
