Nach langem Frost, wie weht die Luft so lind! Da bringt Frühveilchen mir ein bettelnd Kind. Es ist betrübt, daß so den ersten Gruß Des Frühlings mir das Elend bringen muß. Und doch der schönen Tage liebes Pfand Ist mir noch werter aus des Unglücks Hand. So bringt dem Nachgeschlechte unser Leid, Die Frühlingsgrüße einer bessern Zeit.

Na lange vorst hoe waait de wind nu zacht! Een beed'lend kind brengt mij viooltjespracht1. Het stemt mij droef, dat zo de eerste groet Van 't voorjaar diepe nood mij brengen moet2. En toch, dit lieve mooie-dagen-pand Is mij nog liever uit ellendes hand. Zo brengt aan 't nageslacht ook ons gekrijt De lentegroeten van een beet're tijd.
