It is believed that breaking the rose is a metaphor for a physical / sexual violation, and that the poem is a story about rape.

[edit] Notability

I am sure that this poem is notable - it is one of the best-known poems by Goethe, in particular in song form (Schubert). Sources should be added, however (there must be lots of them).

I am removing the "importance" tag. Sorted as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 16:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
