Wie bist du Frühling gut und treu, Daß nie du kömmst mit leerer Hand! -- Du bringst dem Baume Blätter neu, Dem Blümlein farbiges Gewand! Du bringst das Lied dem Vögelein, Durch dich so blau der Himmel lacht! Du bringst der Welt den Sonnenschein, -- Was hast du mir denn mitgebracht?

Ihr lieben Vöglein, singt nur fort, So lang's vermag die kleine Brust! Singt von des Frühlings Herrlichkeit, Singt von des Frühlings Lieb' und Lust! Und sänget ihr auch ewig fort, Viel tausend Jahre Tag und Nacht, Ihr könntet singen nie genug! -- So schön hat Gott die Welt gemacht!

Researcher for this text: Emily Ezust [Administrator]Springtime, how good and loyal you are, Never do you come empty-handed! You bring new leaves to the tree, To the little flower a colourful robe! You bring the song to the little bird, Because of you the sky beams so blue! You bring sunshine to the world, But what have you brought to me?

Dear little birds, keep on singing, As long as your little chest is able! Sing of spring's splendour, Sing of spring's love and joy! And if you were to sing for ever, Day and night for many millennia, You could never sing enough! So beautiful did God make the world!
