Frühlings‑Gesang
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Schon schlummert stille rings die Natur,
Und Blüthenfülle bedeckt die Flur!
Auf feuchten Schwingen kommt kühlende Luft,
Mir leise zu bringen den [lieblichen]1 Duft!
Aber ein Leben, ein Keimen durchzieht
Mächtig der Erde träumend Gebiet!
Was nur das Flüstern mir sagen will?
Stille, mein pochendes Herz, sei still!
Alle singt Liebe, Alles [jauchzt]2 Glück!
Selige Tage kehren zurück!

Spring song
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Already nature is slumbering quietly round about,
And a plethora of blossoms covers the meadow!
A cooling breeze comes upon moist pinions,
To quietly bring me the [lovely scent!]1
But a life, a burgeoning passes mightily
Through the dreaming realm of the earth!
What might the whispering be saying to me?
Be still, my beating heart, be still!
Everything sings love, everything [rejoices]2 good fortune!
Blessed days are returning!
