by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Des Frühlings erste Schauer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Des Frühlings erste Schauer 
Durchzucken die Natur,
Des Winters Leid und Trauer
Erschrickt in Wald und Flur.

Noch eh' sie sich besinnen,
Singt schon ein Vogel drein,
Und [Eis und Schnee]1 zerrinnen
Im [lichten]2 Sonnenschein.

So hat des Herzens Triebe 
Ein Schauer angefacht,
[Und Frühling ist und Liebe 
In meiner Bruft erwacht]3.
