(Being a "lyric" translation of Heine's "Du Bist / Wie Eine Blume," as it is usually done.)
Thou art like to a Flower, / So pure and clean thou art; / I view thee and much Sadness / Steals to me in the Heart.
To me it seems my Hands I / Should now impose on your / Head, praying God to keep you / So fine and clean and pure.
