Im Wald, im hellen Sonnenschein Wenn alle Knospen springen, Da mag ich gerne mittendrein Eins singen. Wie mir zu Muth in Leid und Lust, Im Wachen und im Träumen, Das stimm' ich an aus voller Brust Den Bäumen. Und sie verstehen mich gar fein, Die Blätter alle lauschen, Und fall'n am rechten Orte ein, Mit Rauschen. Und weiter wandelt Schall und Hall, In Wipfeln, Fels und Büschen. Hell schmettert auch Frau Nachtigall Dazwischen. Da fühlt die Brust am eignen Klang, Sie darf sich was erkühnen -- O frische Lust: Gesang! Gesang Im Grünen!

In 't bos, in held're zonneschijn, Als alle knoppen springen, Ik wil heel graag in dat festijn Eens zingen. Hoe ik me voel in lief en leed, In waken en in dromen, Dat presenteer 'k met luide kreet De bomen. En zij verstaan ook elk procent, Ja, alle blaad'ren luist'ren En vallen in op 't juist moment Met ruisen. En verder zwerft mijn tonentaal Naar toppen, rotsen, bosjes. Luid kwettert ook de nachtegaal, Heel losjes. Het hart put kracht uit eigen drang, Nu kan het zich pas uiten. O fris genot! Gezang, gezang Daar buiten!
