The sweetest flower that blows
I give you as we part:
For you it is a rose,
For me it is my heart.
The fragrance it exhales,
Ah! if you only knew,
Which but in dying fails,
it is my love for you.
The sweetest flower that blows
I give you as we part:
You think it but a rose,
Ah, me! it is my heart.

De schoonste bloem
Language:
Dutch
De schoonste bloem die ik koos,
Bied ik als laatste groet;
Voor u is zij een roos,
Voor mij mijn hart vol gloed!
De geur, die haar ontzweeft,
En 't hart zoo wonder streelt,
Den dood voor eind maar heeft,
Is mijner liefde beeld.
De schoonste bloem die ik koos,
Bied ik als laatste groet;
Voor u is zij een roos,
Voor mij mijn hart vol gloed!
From the Van der Stucken score.
