Keine Rose, keine Nelke by Friedrich Silcher — Lyrics
Keine Rose, keine Nelke kann blühen so schön,
als wenn zwei verliebte Herzen bei einander tun stehn.

About Keine Rose, keine Nelke
Perfect for a spring concert or a gathering of male voices, this German folk song by Friedrich Silcher is a charming expression of love. The TTBB arrangement allows for a rich, resonant sound to carry the heartfelt lyrics. The text compares the beauty of blooming flowers and the intensity of burning coals to the profound and often hidden nature of true affection. The poet's plea for a mirror to be placed in their heart emphasizes a desire for unwavering faithfulness, making this a delightful and sincere addition to any programme of secular music.
