[Heraus, heraus! Der Vögel Chor]1
Singt jauchzend schon vom Dach!
So frisch die Blumen schaun empor,
So lustig rauscht der Bach!
Heraus, heraus
Aus dumpfem Haus,
Schon längst ist Alles wach!
Heraus, heraus! In frischer Luft
Die Wolken fröhlich ziehn,
Und welch ein Kleid von Glanz und Duft
Den Firnen ist verliehn!
Heraus, heraus
Aus dumpfem Haus,
Den Sorgen zu entfliehn!
Heraus, heraus! O Wanderlust!
Horch! wie's nun rauscht und schallt!
Heraus, heraus, wer's nie gewußt,
Wie's Wandern heilt so bald!
Heraus, heraus
Aus dumpfem Haus
Durch Feld und Flur und Wald!
F. Abt sets stanzas 1-2

Come out! Come out! The choir of birds
Is already singing rejoicingly from the roof!
So freshly the flowers gaze upward,
So merrily rushes the brooklet!
Come out, come out
From the musty house,
Everything has long been awake already!
Come out! Come out! In the fresh air
The clouds scud merrily,
And what a garb of radiance and scent
Has been given to the old snows!
Come out, come out
From the musty house,
To escape your worries!
Come out! Come out! Oh, desire to wander!
Hark! how it now rushes and rings!
Come out, come out, you who have never known
How quickly wandering can heal you!
Come out, come out
From the musty house,
Through field and lea and forest!
