Der Frühling ist erschienen. Hyazinten und Tulpen und Narzissen steigen lachend aus allen Beeten auf. Doch wo bleibst du? Wo bleibst du? Die Erde hält dich fest in ihrem Dunkel. Ich werde weinen gleich der Frühlingswolke, vielleicht daß du dann doch aus deiner Tiefe emporsteigst, als des Lenzes schönste Blume!

La primavera ha vingut. Jacints, tulipes i narcisos creixen somrients a tots els planters. Però tu on ets? On ets tu? La terra et té aferrada en la seva foscúria. Jo ploraré com un núvol de primavera, tal vegada, per què aleshores, de la teva fondària, t’aixequis com la flor més formosa d’abril!
