Sweet chimes are softly filling my soul; Ring, little springtime-song Ring out: far and wide. Go forward till you reach the house, where the violets bloom; And if you see a rose, give her my greetings.

I want to delve my soul Into the cup of the lily; The lily should give resoundingly A song belonging to my beloved. The song should shudder and tremble Like the kiss from her lips That she once gave me In a wonderfully sweet hour.
