Von allen Bergen nieder So fröhlich Grüßen schallt - Das ist der Frühling wieder, Der ruft zum grünen Wald! Ein Liedchen ist erklungen Herauf zum stillen Schloß - Dein Liebster hat's gesungen Der hebt Dich auf sein Roß. Wir reiten so geschwinde, Von allen Menschen weit. - Da rauscht die Luft so linde In Waldeseinsamkeit. Wohin? Im Mondenschimmer So bleich der Wald schon steht. - Leis rauscht die Nacht - frag' nimmer, Wo Lieb' zu Ende geht!

Omlaag van alle bergen Barst vrolijk groeten los -- Weer is de lent' aan 't werken, Die roept naar 't groene bos! Een liedje heeft weerklonken Omhoog naar 't slot in 't bos -- Je liefste heeft 't gezongen; Die tilt jou op zijn ros. Wij vluchten samen ijlings, De mensheid laat ons koud -- Ginds ruist de wind zo zachtjes In 't eenzaam stille woud. Waarheen? In maanlichtschemer Staat 't woud reeds bleek getint -- Zacht ruist de nacht -- vraag nimmer Waar liefd' een einde vindt.
