by Bernhard Ferdinand Julius Endrulat (1828 - 1886)

Im Wald ist's hold und lenzig
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Wald ist's hold und lenzig,
Pirol und Finke singt,
[Der]1 Frühstrahl goldenglänzig
Das junge Laub durchbringt. 

Waldmeisterlein und Veilchen
Stehn duftend in [die]2 Rund',
Und harrst du noch ein Weilchen,
So blüht der ganze Grund.  

Die kaum befreiten Wellchen
Versucht der flinke Quell,
Und trotz der tausend Fällchen,
Kommt' er zur rechten Stell'. 

Horch, [hämmernd durch die Halde
Ertönt des Spechtes Schlag,]3
Als pocht' das Herz vom Walde
Still in den Frühlingstag!
