by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Liebesfrühling
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wenn die Knospen alle springen,
und die Lüfte wehen lau,
wenn die Vögel wieder singen
unterm Himmel klar und blau,
voller Sehnsucht möchtest wiegen
du mit ihnen dich, mein Herz,
über Wald und Ströme fliegen,
immer höher, himmelwärts!

Aber ist dir aufgegangen
Liebesfrühlings Zauberlicht,
ist's, als ob die Engel sangen:
Bleib nur drunten, komme nicht!
Menschenkind, was mag's dir taugen,
mitzufliegen ohne Ruh'?
Schauest in der Liebsten Augen
ja den schönsten Himmel du!
