Es geht ein Rauschen Von Frühlingsluft Durch Wald und Kluft, Komm, komm, zu lauschen! Es zieht ein weiches Klingen daher, Ein träumeschwer Gedankenreiches. Und frägst Du leise: Wohin so schnell? Wir ziehn zur Stell, Die alte Reise, Zu frischen Wangen! Nach Glück und Lust In junger Brust Wir tragen Verlangen. Was frägst Du viel? Der Düfte Strom Im Waldesdom Kommt bald zum Ziel!

There is a rushing Of springtime air Through forest and chasm, Come, come to listen! There is a soft ringing Coming along, A dream-laden Thoughtful [ringing]. And if you were to ask: Whither so hastily? Right now, we are travelling The old [familiar] journey, To fresh cheeks! For happiness and joy In a young breast, We carry yearning. Why do you ask so many questions? The stream of scents In the forest cathedral Shall soon reach its goal!
