[edit] German Text
Die Rose, die Lilie, die Taube, die Sonne,
Die liebt' ich einst alle in Liebeswonne,
Ich lieb' sie nicht mehr, ich liebe alleine
Die Kleine, die Feine, de Reine, die Eine;
Sie selber, aller Liebe Bronne
Ist Rose und Lilie und Traube und Sonne.
[edit] Translation
The rose, the lily, the dove, the sun-
I once loved them all with ecstatic love.
I love them no more, I love only
the little one, the dainty one, the pure one, the One.
She alone, the well-spring of all love,
is rose and lily and dove and sun.
