Im Schnee von Blüthenflocken Da spielt der Morgenwind, Aus Mai- und Lilienglocken Da flüstert's [leicht]1 und lind. Da duftet's wie mit Schalle, Da rauscht es wie in Duft, Wenn süß die Nachtigalle Ihr Lieb, ihr Liebstes ruft. Im Schnee von Blütenflocken Da will ich sitzen gehn, Und will der Liebsten Locken Im Winde flattern sehn. Da will ich hell mit Klingen, Mit lieblichem Gesang Von Lieb', von Liebe singen Wie Nachtigallenklang.

In the snow of the blossom petals The morning wind is playing, From the bells of lily of the valley and lily There comes a [light]1 and gentle whispering. Scents emerge as if with sounding, There is a soughing as of scent, When the nightingale sweetly Calls to its love, its most beloved. In the snow of the blossom petals There I wish to go sit, And wish to see the curls of my beloved Fluttering in the wind. There with bright ringing, With lovely melodies I wish to sing of love, of love, Like the sound of nightingales.
