Description

'She said that she would dance with me if I brought her red roses'

'but in all my garden there is no red rose' cried the young Student

from her nest in the holm-oak tree the nightingale heard him

and she looked out through the leaves, and wondered

'No red rose in all my garden ' he cried

and his beautiful eyes filled with tears

'On what little things does happiness depend '

'I have read all that the wise men have written'

'all the secrets of philosophy are mine'

'yet for want of a red rose my life is made wretched'
