Nun stehn die Rosen in Blüte, [Ein Netz wird bald gewoben sein]1. Mein flatterhaft Gemüthe, Dich fangen sie nicht ein. Und blieb' ich [Ärmster]2 hangen In dieser jungen Rosenzeit An schönsten Rosenwangen, Meine Jugend thäte mir leid. Ich mag nur lachen und singen, Durch blühende Wälder schweift mein Lauf; Mein Herz will sich erschwingen Bis in die Wipfel hinauf!

Now the roses are in bloom, [A net shall soon be woven]1. You, my flighty spirit, They shall not ensnare! [And if I, poor chap, were caught]2 By the most beautiful rosy cheeks In this youthful time of roses, I should regret my youth. I only like to laugh and sing, My way takes me through blossoming woodlands; My heart wishes to swing itself All the way up into the tree-tops!
1 G. Schumann: "Love weaves its net so delicately"
2 G. Schumann: "And if I were dreamily caught"
