Grün ist der Jasminenstrauch Abends eingeschlafen, Als ihn mit des Morgens Hauch [Sonnenlichter]1 trafen, Ist er schneeweiß aufgewacht: "Wie geschah mir in der Nacht?" Seht, so geht es Bäumen, Die im Frühling träumen.

3. Der Lenz [sung text not yet checked]
Der Lenz ist angekommen!
Habt ihr es nicht vernommen?
Es sagen's euch die Vögelein,
Es sagen's euch die Blümelein:
Der Lenz ist angekommen!
Ihr seht es an den Feldern,
Ihr [seht es an]1 den Wäldern;
Der Kukuk ruft, der Finke schlagt,
Es jubelt was sich froh bewegt:
Der Lenz ist angekommen!
Hier, Blümlein auf der Haide,
Dort, Schäflein auf der Weide.
Ach! seht doch, wie sich Alles freut.
Es hat die Welt sich schön [verneut]1.
Der Lenz ist angekommen.
