[Frühling]1 war's in allen Zweigen, Und die braune Drossel sang, Und an deiner Schulter lehnt' ich, O, wie war ich froh und bang! Bin zu Füßen dir gesessen, Hab' in [Wonnen]2 dich geküßt, Und kann's nimmermehr vergessen, Was du mir gewesen bist! Nimmermehr in all den Tagen, [Nimmer in der langen]3 Zeit - - - Was du mir getan zu Liebe, Was du mir getan zu Leid'!

T'was [spring]1 in all the branches And the brown thrush sang, And I leaned upon your shoulder, Oh, how joyful and anxious I was! I sat at your feet, I kissed you with [multiple delights]2, And I can never forget What you meant to me! Nevermore in all the days, [Never in the long]3 time - - - What you did for love of me, What you did to cause me woe!
