An ein Veilchen
Johannes Brahms

Hide, o violet, in your blue calyx
Hide my melancholy tears, until my darling
Visits this spring! If she smilingly picks 
You from the grass to adorn her bosom with you,
Oh then nestle yourself to her heart, and tell her
That those drops in your blue calyx 
Flowed from the soul of the truest youth,
Who is weeping away his life and wishes for death.
