Song Cycle by Clara Wildschut (1906 - 1950)

1. April  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das ist die Drossel, die da schlägt,
Der Frühling, der mein Herz bewegt;
Ich fühle, die sich hold bezeigen,
Die Geister aus der Erde steigen.
Das Leben fließet wie ein Traum --
Mir ist wie Blume, Blatt und Baum.
