Tief im grünen Frühlingshag Durch die alten Rüstern Wandelt leis' am schönsten Tag Wundersames Flüstern. Jedes Läublein spricht: Gott grüß'! Zu dem Laub daneben, Alles athmet tief und süß Heil'ges Friedensleben. Und wie Blüt' und Blatt am Strauch Still sich wiegt im Glanze, Wiegt sich meine Seel' im Hauch, Der durchströmt das Ganze.

Deep within the green springtime grove Through the old elms On the most beautiful of days there passes A wondrous whispering. Every little bit of foliage says: “God greet you!” To the foliage beside it, Everything inhales deeply and sweetly A holy life of peace. And just as blossoms and leaves upon the shrubs Quietly sway in the brilliance, My soul moves in the breath That floods throughout the whole scene.
