Sie wandeln durch des Waldes Grün.
Vögel singen und Blumen blühn.
Ein blasser Mann und ein stilles Kind.
Sie schlürfen durstig den Frühlingswind.
Und der Knabe bleibt verwundert stehn:
"Ich glaub', ich kann die Mutter sehn."
Sie starren in das junge Grün . . .
Vögel singen und Blumen blühn.

They wander through the green of the woods.
Birds are singing and flowers are blooming.
A pale man and a silent child.
Thirstily they drink in the spring breeze.
And the boy stands still in astonishment:
"I believe that I can see my mother."
They stare into the fresh greenery . . .
Birds are singing and flowers are blooming.
