Der Himmel wölbt sich rein und blau, Der Reif stellt Blumen aus zur Schau. Am Fenster prangt ein flimmernder Flor. Ein Jüngling steht, ihn betrachtend, davor. Und hinter den Blumen blühet noch gar Ein blaues, ein lächelndes Augenpaar. Märzveilchen, wie jener noch keine gesehn! Der Reif wird angehaucht zergehn. Eisblumen fangen zu schmelzen an, Und Gott sei gnädig dem jungen Mann!

The heavens arch above, pure and blue, and the frost exhibits its flowers. The window is sparkling with shimmering flora. A young man is standing in front, gazing intently. And behind the flowers there blossoms a pair of laughing blue eyes. March violets, like nothing ever seen before! The frost will dissolve with one breath! Frosted flowers now begin to melt, and God, be lenient with this young man.
Note: changed second line on Sep 8, 2018 thanks to a suggestion by Richard Mix.
