E. Grieg - Zur Rosenzeit, Opus 48, no. 5

E. Grieg Zur Rosenzeit Op. 48 no. 5 (Goethe)
Sopraan: Mignon Primus. Piano: Ernst Paul Fuchs.

You are wilting, sweet roses -
my love could not sustain you.
Bloom for hopelessness then,
for he whose soul is breaking from sorrow!
I think mournfully of those days
when I hung on you, angel,
waiting for your first little bud
and going to my garden early;

Every blossom, every fruit
I carried to your feet;
and before your countenance,
hope throbbed in my heart.

Bloom for him who waits for your first bud,
going to his garden early;
alas, I think mournfully of those days
when I hung on you, my angel.
