Es lockt und säuselt um den Baum: Wach auf aus deinem Schlaf und Traum, Der Winter ist zerronnen. Da schlägt er frisch den Blick empor, Die Augen sehen hell hervor Ans goldne Licht der Sonnen. Es zieht ein Wehen sanft und lau, Geschaukelt in dem Wolkenbau Wie Himmelsduft hernieder. Da werden alle Blumen wach, Da tönt der Vögel schmelzend Ach, Da kehrt der Frühling wieder. Es zuckt und bebt im Blute was, Die Wimpern werden tränennaß, Es pochet leis im Herzen. O Mensch, du fühlest Frühlingslust, Und Liebe hebet deinen Ernst, Und wecket süße Schmerzen! Es weht der Wind den Blütenstaub Von Kelch zu Kelch, von Laub zu Laub, Durch Tage und durch Nächte. Flieg auch, mein Herz, und flattre fort, Such hier ein Herz und such es dort, Du triffst vielleicht das Rechte.
J. Brahms sets stanzas 1-2, 4

Hi ha una remor atraient al voltant de l’arbre: desperta’t del teu son i del teu somni, l’hivern s’ha esvaït. Ella aixeca el seu fresc esguard, els seus ulls es veuen clars a la daurada llum del sol. Un oreig suau i tebi gronxa l’estol de núvols davallant com una flaire celestial. Llavors es desperten totes les flors, llavors ressona el dolç cant dels ocells, llavors torna la primavera. Quelcom batega i tremola a la sang, les pestanyes s’humitegen de llàgrimes, palpita suaument el cor. Oh home, perceps el goig de la primavera, i l’amor capalça la teva severitat i et desperta dolces penes! Bufa el vent i porta el pol·len de calze en calze, de fulla en fulla, a través dels dies i les nits. Vola tu també, cor meu, i aleteja ben lluny, cerca un cor aquí i cerca’l allà, potser en trobaràs un que sigui escaient.
