here

warum
ich

This
sweet
Infanta
of
the
year?

süße
Infantin
des
Jahres?
Ask
me
why
I
send
to
you
Frag
mich,
warum
ich
dir
schicke
This
primrose,
thus
bepearl'd
with
dew?
Diese
Primel,
so
mit
Tau
beperlt?
I
will
whisper
to
your
ears
Ich
will
dir
ins
Ohr
flüstern,
The
sweets
of
love
are
mix'd
with
tears
Der
Liebe
Süße
mischt
sich
mit
Tränen.
Ask
me
why
this
flower
does
show
Frag
mich,
warum
diese
Blume
sich
zeigt
So
yellow-green,
and
sickly
too?
So
gelbgrün
und
auch
kränklich
dazu?
Ask
me
why
the
stalk
is
weak
Frag
mich,
warum
der
Stiel
schwach
ist
And
bending
yet
it
doth
not
break?
Und
sich
biegt,
doch
nicht
zerbricht?
I
will
answer,
these
discover
Ich
will
antworten:
Dies
offenbart,
What
fainting
hopes
are
in
a
lover
Welch
schwache
Hoffnung
im
Liebenden
wohnt.
