by Hermann Franke (1834 - 1919), as Albert Mittau

Wie der liebliche, lustige Frühling...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie der liebliche, lustige Frühling sprang
Wohl über den Rhein, 
Da kam auch der Liebe mächtiger Drang 
In's Herz mir hinein. 

O du schöne du liebeglühende Welt, 
Ich hab' mir ein Plätzchen, ein Schätzchen bestellt. 
Zum Lieben, zum Kosen in heimlicher Ruh, 
Zum Jubeln und Küssen, zum Weinen dazu,  

Und es rauschen und wogen die Wasser all', 
Bei Tag und bei Nacht, 
Und es klinget und singet der Liebe Schall 
In ewiger Macht.  

O du Liebeszeit, o du Lenzeszeit, 
Dir Welt mir zu enge, das Herz mir zu weit, 
O du blühender, glühender, herrlicher Mai, 
O du selige, himmlische Melodei!
