Die [linden]1 Lüfte sind erwacht, Sie [säuseln und weben]2 Tag und Nacht, Sie [schaffen]3 an allen Enden. O [frischer]4 Duft, o neuer Klang! Nun armes Herze, sey nicht bang!

4. Vorfrühling [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Vorfrühling seufzt in weiter Nacht, daß mir das Herze brechen will; die Lande ruhn so menschenstill, nur ich bin aufgewacht. Oh horch, nun bricht des Eises Wall auf allen Strömen, allen Seen; mir ist, ich müßte mit vergehn und, Woge, wieder auferstehn zu neuem Klippenfall. Die Lande ruhn so menschenstill; nur hier und dort ist wer erwacht, und seine Seele weint und lacht, wie es der Tauwind will.

5. Frühling [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Ammer flötet tief im Grund, der Frühling blüht mein Herz gesund. Über die Augen halt ich die Hand, schimmernd liegt vor mir das Land. Schimmernd wie ein goldener Rauch, über allen Dingen ruht ein Hauch. So still, so sonnig hängt die Luft, über die ganze Welt weht Veilchenduft. Über die ganze Welt, ungesehn leise, leise Sonntagsglocken gehn. Die Ammer flötet tief im Grund, der Frühling blüht mein Herz gesund.

Language: German (Deutsch)
[Über'n]1 Garten durch die Lüfte Hört' ich Wandervögel ziehn, Das bedeutet Frühlingsdüfte, Unten fängt's schon an zu blühn. Jauchzen möcht' ich, möchte weinen, Ist mir's doch, als könnt's nicht sein! [Alte]2 Wunder wieder scheinen Mit dem [Mondesglanz]3 herein. Und der Mond, die Sterne sagen's, Und im [Träumen]4 rauscht's der Hain, Und die Nachtigallen schlagen's: Sie ist deine! Sie ist dein!
