Aprilwind; alle Knospen sind schon [aufgesprossen]1; es sprießt [der]2 Grund, und sein Mund bleibt so verschlossen? Maisonnenregen; alle Blumen langen, stille aufgegangen, [dem Licht entgegen,]3 dem lieben Licht. Fühlt, fühlt [er's]4 nicht?
Note for stanza 2, line 3, word 1 ("stille"): in some versions of Dehmel: "heimlich"
2 Schoenberg: "das"
3 omitted by Schoenberg.

Vent d'avril ; tous les bourgeons déjà ont jailli ; la terre s'ouvre et sa bouche reste close ? Pluie et soleil de mai ; toute les fleurs s'étirent, silencieuses, redressées, [vers la lumière,]1 [la chère lumière]2. Ne le sent-il, ne le sent-il pas ? !
Note for stanza 2, line 3: "silencieuses" - dans certaines versions de Dehmel : "furtives"
2 Schoenberg: "vers la chère lumière"
