by Karl Friedrich Henckell (1864 - 1929)

Lenzestrost
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In meines Vaters Garten,
Da flötet die Drossel so süß, [ja süß,]1
Da flattern die grünen Standarten:
Gott grüße Dich, Lenz, Gott grüß!

In meines Vaters Garten,
Da säum' ich in seliger Ruh', [ja Ruh,]1
Da flüstr' ich dem armen, genarrten,
[Herzen]2 ein Tröstlein zu.

Ein Tröstlein lieb und linde
Wie lockender [Drosselsang süß, ja süß]3:
Laß fahren all Trauern geschwinde,
Gott grüße Dich, Zukunft, Gott grüß!
