Der Schnee, der gestern noch in Flöckchen Vom Himmel fiel, Hängt nun geronnen heut als Glöckchen Am zarten Stiel. Schneeglöckchen läutet, was bedeutet's Im stillen Hain? O komm geschwind! Im Haine läutet's Den Frühling ein. O kommt, ihr Blätter, Blüt' und Blume, Die ihr noch träumt, All zu des Frühlings Heiligtume! Kommt ungesäumt!

La neige qui hier encore en petits flocons Tombait du ciel, Figée en clochettes est maintenant suspendue À de délicates tiges. Les perce-neige sonnent, qu'est-ce que cela veut dire Dans le silence du bois? Ô viens vite! dans le bois on sonne L'arrivée du printemps. Ô venez, feuilles, bourgeons et fleurs Qui rêvez encore, Venez tous dans le sanctuaire du printemps! Venez sans tarder!
