Frühlingswanderung
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Übers Feld bin ich gegangen,
Wo die tausend Blumen stehn,
Spielend sich die Winde haschen,
Bienen goldnen Honig naschen
Und die jungen Blütenreiser
Grüssend hin und wieder wehn.
Ach, was für ein selig Wandern
War's in Duft und Sonnenschein,
Da kein Laut der Welt mich störte,
Da ich ganz mir selbst gehörte,
Und des Frühlings helle Stimme
Klang in meinen Schritt hinein!

Wandering in springtime
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
I walked over the fields
Where thousands of flowers grow,
[Where the] winds play tag with one another,
[Where the] bees snack upon golden honey,
And the young blossom branches
Waft to and fro in greeting.
Ah, what a blissful wandering
It was in scent and sunshine,
Where no sound of the world disturbed me,
Where I belonged utterly to myself,
And the bright voice of springtime
Was ringing in my steps!
