Herz! o lass dein Weh
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Herz! o laß dein Weh!
Unter'm tiefen Schnee,
Jedem Frost zum Hohn,
Träumt das Veilchen schon.
Und wie fahl und todt
Noch die Hecke sei,
Träumt im Abendroth
Sie den Lenz herbei.
Und ein heller Ton
Klingt vom Baume schon
Über'n tiefen Schnee --
Herz, o laß dein Weh!

Heart! oh leave your woe!
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Heart! oh leave your woe!
Under the deep snow,
In defiance of every frost,
The violet is already dreaming.
And however sallow and dead
The hedge may still be,
In the evening glow it already
Summons springtime with its dreaming.
And a bright tone
Already sounds forth from the tree,
[Travelling] over the deep snow --
Heart, oh leave your woe!
