O Lenzeshauch, o linde Zeit, Wenn's Rosen regnet, Lilien schneit! Des Mittags singt im grünen Zelt Der junge Hirt sein schönstes Lied, Und staubend wogt das Roggenfeld Im Juni, Im Juni, wenn der Ginster blüht. Am Abend durch den stillen Wald Der Klageruf der Taube schallt; Die Wachtel lockt in Klee und Hag, Und durch des Mühlbachs Rauschen zieht Der Nachtigall verlorner Schlag Im Juni, Im Juni, wenn der Ginster blüht. O Nachtigall am Wiesenbach, Ich traure deiner Schwester nach, Und trauern muß ich immerdar; Denn als von ihr ich weinend schied, Von ihr und meinem Glück, es war Im Juni, Im Juni, wenn der Ginster blüht.

Oh breath of spring, oh gentle time, When it rains roses, snows lilies! At noontide in the green bower The young shepherd sings his loveliest song, And rye waves, scattering its pollen like a cloud, In June, In June, when the gorse blooms. In the evening through the silent wood The lamenting cry of the dove resounds; The quail entices in clover and hedge, And the through the rushing of the millstream Comes the nightingale's forlorn jugging In June, In June, when the gorse blooms. Oh nightingale at the meadow brook, I am mourning your sister, And I must mourn evermore; For when, weeping, I parted from her, From her and from my happiness, it was In June, In June, when the gorse blooms.
