3. Frühzeitiger Frühling  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Tage der Wonne
Kommt ihr so bald?
Schenkt mir die Sonne,
Hügel und Wald?
 
Reichlicher fließen
Bächlein zumal.
Sind es die Wiesen
Ist es das Thal?
 
[Blauliche]1 Frische!
Himmel und Höh!
Goldene Fische
Wimmeln im See.
 
Buntes Gefieder
Rauschet im Hain;
Himmlische Lieder
Schallen darein.
 
Unter des Grünen
Blühender Kraft,
Naschen die Bienen
Summend am Saft.
 
Leise Bewegung
Bebt in der Luft,
Reizende Regung,
Schläfernder Duft.
 
Mächtiger rühret
Bald sich ein Hauch,
Doch er verlieret
Gleich sich im Strauch.
 
Aber zum Busen
Kehrt er zurück.
Helfet, ihr Musen,
Tragen das Glück!
 
Saget seit gestern
Wie mir geschah?
Liebliche Schwestern,
Liebchen ist da!
