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! Nun muß sich [Alles, Alles]5 wenden. Die Welt wird schöner [mit]5 jedem Tag, Man weiß nicht, was noch [werden]6 mag, Das Blühen [will]7 nicht enden. Es blüht das fernste, [tiefste]8 Thal. Nun armes [Herz]9, vergiß [der]10 Qual! Nun muß sich [Alles, Alles]11 wenden.

Balmy breezes are awakened, They whisper and move day and night, And everywhere creative. O fresh scent, o new sound! Now, poor heart, don't be afraid. Now all, all must change. With each day the world grows fairer, One cannot know what is still to come, The flowering refuses to cease. Even the deepest, most distant valley is in flower. Now, poor heart, forget your torment. Now all, all must change.
