Laue Luft kommt blau geflossen, Frühling, Frühling soll es sein! Waldwärts Hörnerklang geschossen, Mut'ger Augen lichter Schein; Und das Wirren bunt und bunter Wird ein magisch wilder Fluß, In die schöne Welt hinunter Lockt dich dieses Stromes Gruß. Und ich mag mich nicht bewahren! Weit von Euch treibt mich der Wind; Auf dem Strome will ich fahren, Von dem Glanze selig blind! Tausend Stimmen lockend schlagen; Hoch Aurora flammend weht; Fahre zu! ich mag nicht fragen, Wo die Fahrt zu Ende geht.

2. Es wandelt, was wir schauen  [sung text not yet checked]
Es wandelt, was wir schauen, Tag sinkt ins Abendrot, Die Lust hat eignes Grauen, Und alles hat den Tod. Ins Leben schleicht das Leiden Sich [heimlich]1 wie ein Dieb, Wir alle müssen scheiden Von allem, was uns lieb. Was gäb' es doch auf Erden, Wer hielt' den Jammer aus, Wer möcht' geboren werden, Hielt'st Du nicht droben Haus! Du bist's, der, was wir bauen, Mild über uns zerbricht, Daß wir den Himmel schauen - Darum so klag' ich nicht.

3. Im Wald, im hellen Sonnenschein  [sung text not yet checked]
Im Wald, im hellen Sonnenschein, Wenn alle Knospen springen, [Dann]1 mag ich gerne mittendrein Eins singen. Wie mir zu Mut in Leid und Lust, Im Wachen und im Träumen, Das stimm ich an aus voller Brust Den Bäumen. Und sie verstehen mich gar fein, Die Blätter alle lauschen Und fall'n am rechten Orte ein, Mit Rauschen. Und weiter [wandelt]2 Schall und Hall, In Wipfeln, Fels und Büschen. Hell schmettert auch Frau Nachtigall Dazwischen. Da fühlt die Brust am eignen Klang, Sie darf sich was erkühnen, O frische [Luft!]3 Gesang! Gesang Im Grünen.

4. Das ist ein Flöten und Geigen  [sung text not yet checked]
Das ist ein Flöten und Geigen, Trompeten schmettern [drein]1; Da tanzt [wohl]2 den Hochzeitreigen Die Herzallerliebste mein. Das ist ein Klingen und Dröhnen, [Von Pauken und Schalmei'n]3; Dazwischen schluchzen und stöhnen Die [guten]4 Engelein.

Confirmed with Goethe's Werke. Vollständige Ausgabe letzter Hand. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J.G.Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1827, page 109; and with Goethe's Werke. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J. G. Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1815, page 99.
Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".
1 Flügel, Gaugler, Hasse, Radecke: "Wipfeln" (according to the incipits given in Hofmeister) ; further changes may exist not noted above. Lachner: Both "Gipfeln" and "Wipfeln."2 Schubert: "Vöglein"
