Frauenchor Die Frühlingslüfte bringen Den Liebesgruss der Welt, Des Eises Bande springen, Es grünt das öde Feld. Die ersten Blumen tauchen Aus grünem Wiesenplan, Und schau'n mit Kindesaugen Uns [frühlingskälbig]1 an. Im maiengrünen Kleide, Mit Blüten reich gestickt, Hat sich zur Osterfreude Ein jeder Baum geschmückt O sel'ge Frühlingszeit! Du trocknest stille Tränen, Die unsres Herzens Sehnen Geweint im tiefsten Leid. In manche Winterbrust Tönt auch dein Sonntagsläuten, Und mancher Keim der Freuden Erwacht zu neuer Lust.

Chorus of women: The spring breezes carry The world's greeting of love.1 The shackles of ice are breaking, The barren field is turning green. The first flowers emerge From the green expanse of the meadow, And with childlike eyes they gaze At us like calves in springtime. In a chartreuse garment Richly embroidered with blossoms, Every tree has adorned itself For the joy of Eastertide. O blessed Springtime! You dry the silent tears That the longings of our hearts Have shed in deepest sorrow. In many a wintry breast Your Sunday chimes are sounding too, And many a seed of happiness. Is awakening to new joy.
1 This line could also mean "The greeting of love to the world"
