by Moritz Hartmann (1821 - 1872)

Wie in den ersten Jugendtagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie in den ersten Jugendtagen,
So frisch, so wohl ist mir zu Muth -
Wie lustig, ha, die Pulse schlagen,
Wie gährt und schafft und treibt mein Blut!

Mir ist's, als wie der Birk im Maien -
Es locht in Wurzel, Zweig und Schaft,
Der Lenz in ihr will sich befreien,
Der süße Wein aus seiner Haft.

O, könnt' ich brechen und zersprengen
Die Rinde, die mein Herz umzieht,
Könnt' ich hinaus den Frühling drängen,
Als Blut, als Liebe oder Lied!
