Found I walked in the forest So for me there, And nothing to look for This was my intention. I saw in the shadow stand a flower, shining like stars, How beautiful little eyes. I wanted to break it, Then it says fine: Shall I wither To be broken? I dug with everyone The little spice out. I carried it to the garden At the pretty house . And plant it again In the quiet place; Now it always branches And continues to bloom. Found: I went into the woods simply to stroll, not searching for anything, my wandering mind not out on forest patrol in the shadows I saw a floweret standing. dazzling as any star, its bright eyes gleaming I wanted to pick it but then it said: 'shall I be withered, broken and dead? ' I dug it up with all the roots of its rich loam, carried it to the garden in my lovely home and planted it again in that silent place; now it spreads out its flowers, blooming in strength and grace Ich ging im Walde So für mich hin, Und nichts zu suchen, Das war mein Sinn. Im Schatten sah ich Ein Blümchen stehn, Wie Sterne leuchtend, Wie Äuglein schön. Ich wollt es brechen, Da sagt es fein: Soll ich zum Welken Gebrochen sein? Ich grub's mit allen Den Würzlein aus. Zum Garten trug ich's Am hübschen Haus . Und pflanzt es wieder Am stillen Ort; Nun zweigt es immer Und blüht so fort.
