Es ist die Luft so weich und lind In einer Nacht geworden, Das Eis zerbricht, der Schnee zerrinnt, Dann grünt es aller Orten. Im dürren Wipfel wiegt sich leis Ein Vöglein voller Lieder; Da blühen alle Zweige weiß, Es blüht im Herzen wieder. Es weint der Schmerz so süß sich aus, [Es jubelt so hell]1 die Liebe, Zu enge wird mir Herz und Haus Für all die Frühlingstriebe. Und blüht's thalaus, und blüht's thalein, Da jubelt's rings auf Erden, Als [müss']2 die Welt im Frühlingsschein Zum Paradiese werden.

Così gentile e mite l'aria è diventata in una sola notte; il ghiaccio si spezza, la neve si scioglie, e ogni luogo verdeggia. Sulla cima secca degli alberi si culla leggero un uccellino pieno di canti; tutti i rami fioriscono di bianco, rifiorisce anche dentro al cuore. Il dolore si sfoga così dolce nel pianto e l'amore esulta luminoso; casa e cuore mi diventano troppo angusti per tutti gli impulsi che la primavera suscita. E fiorisce fuori e dentro la valle, tutto sulla Terra esulta come se, nello splendore della primavera, il mondo dovesse diventare il Paradiso.
