Mägdleins Frage
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Mutter, draußen ist es Frühling worden,
Gold'nes Lenzlicht leuchtet durch die Au,
Unsrer Berge wintersernste Zinnen morgen
Schon in heiterm Grün ich schau!

Mutter, sieh doch, wie ein güt'ger Himmel
Ringsum alles ziert und alles schmücket,
Wie mit ihrem Zauberstab Lenzgöttin
Huldvoll alle, alle Welt glücket!

Mutter sag, warum in's Herz mir leuchtet
Gar kein süßer Sonnenschein,
Oder sag mir, liebe Mutter: "Glaubst du,
Daß der Lenz mir bringt den Liebsten mein?"
