## The words

Rosen brach ich nachts mir am dunklen Hage;  
süßer hauchten Duft sie als je am Tage,  
doch verstreuten reich die bewegten Äste,  
Tau, der mich näßte.  
Auch der Küsse Duft mich wie nie berückte,  
die ich nachts vom Strauch deiner Lippen  
pflückte:  
doch auch dir, bewegt im Gemüt gleich jenen,  
tauten die Tränen.
