Lenznacht

Milde, laue Lenzesnacht,   
Silberblau taghelle,  
Wie in deiner lichten Pracht
Blitzt des Waldes Quelle! 

Am Geriesel, im Gezweig
Flöten Nachtigallen,
Sehnsuchtsüß und liebeweich
Ihre Lieder hallen. 

Jeder Wipfel grüßt und nickt
In der Lüfte Tanze,
Venus sanft vom Himmel blickt
Hell herab im Glanze.
