by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Sängerfrühling
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Sieht noch kein Mensch den Frühling nahn,
Uns blüht es überall,
Und längst, trotz dem verschneiten Plan, 
Singt uns die Nachtigall. 

  Der Wald schon grünt, der Kuckuck ruft 
Dem goldnen Sonnenstrahl,
Die Lerche jauchzt, und süßer Duft 
Zieht von den Höhn in's Thal. 

  Wie haben's doch wir Sänger gut: 
Gleich schenkt uns Gott zum Lohn, 
Fehlt's aller Welt an Trost und Muth, 
Den schönsten Frühling schon!

Confirmed with Neue Lieder von Friedrich Oser (1874-1884), Basel: Verlag von M. Bernheim, 1885, page 11-12.
