Tief im grünen Frühlingshag

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Tief im grünen Frühlingshag
Durch die alten Rüstern
Wandelt leis' am schönsten Tag
Wundersames Flüstern.

Jedes Läublein spricht: Gott grüß'!
Zu dem Laub daneben,
Alles athmet tief und süß
Heil'ges Friedensleben.

Und wie Blüt' und Blatt am Strauch
Still sich wiegt im Glanze,
Wiegt sich meine Seel' im Hauch,
Der durchströmt das Ganze.

Deep within the green springtime grove

NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Deep within the green springtime grove
Through the old elms
On the most beautiful of days there passes
A wondrous whispering.

Every little bit of foliage says: “God greet you!”
To the foliage beside it,
Everything inhales deeply and sweetly
A holy life of peace.

And just as blossoms and leaves upon the shrubs
Quietly sway in the brilliance,
My soul moves in the breath
That floods throughout the whole scene.
