Der Lenz ist da
Language: German (Deutsch)

Der Lenz ist da 
Und fern und nah 
Gibt's neue Weisen und Lieder;
Wie einst Merlin, 
So lausch ich hin
Und Alles schreib' ich nieder.

Hoch in der Luft,
Was die Lerche ruft,
Was die Drossel klagt im Holunder,
Was den Rosen all'
Die Nachtigall
Flötet: Sagen und Wunder,

Was die Schlange klug 
Ihre Kinder frug, 
Die im Sonnenlichte schillern;
Was Hänfling und Fink 
Im Fluge flink 
Einander zwitschern und trillern,

Was die Vögel gewusst, 
Die voll Wanderlust 
Aus dem Süden erst gekommen,
Was im Walde tief 
An Märchen schlief, 
Hab' Alles, Alles vernommen.

Hab' es abgelauscht, 
Was lenzberauscht 
Die Glockenblumen läuten; --
Lieder und Melodie'n, 
Wie Merlin
Kann ich sie deuten.
