Blauer Himmel, klare Lüfte

Blauer Himmel, klare Lüfte,
Seid gegrüßt viel tausend Mal,
Und ihr ersten süßen Düfte,
Und du goldner Sonnenstrahl!
   O wie jauchzt das Herz dir zu,
   Schöner, schöner Frühling du!

Hast auch lange du gesäumet,
Endlich, endlich kommst du doch;
Und was harrend wir geträumet,
Ist erfüllt nur holder noch!
   Alles machst du gut im Nu,
   Schöner, schöner Frühling du!

Grünt, ihr Auen! schmückt, ihr Felder,
Eilig euch zu seinem Preis!
Schäumt, ihr Bäche! rauscht, ihr Wälder!
Singt, ihr Vögel, heller Weis!
   Jauchzt mit uns ihm freudig zu:
   Schöner, schöner Frühling du!

Blue sky, clear breezes

Blue sky, clear breezes,
I greet you a thousand times,
And you first sweet scents,
And you golden sunbeam!
   Oh how my heart rejoices toward you,
   Lovely, lovely springtime, you!

Though you tarried long,
Finally, finally you have come after all;
And everything we dreamed while waiting
Has come to pass even more beautifully [than we dreamed]!
   In a trice, you make everything good,
   Lovely, lovely springtime, you!

Grow green, you meadows! you fields, adorn
Yourselves swiftly in praise of spring!
Foam, you brooks! sough, you forests!
Sing bright lays, you birds!
   Happily sing spring’s praises with us:
   Lovely, lovely springtime, you!
