Frühling 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 dich geküßt, Und kann's nimmermehr vergessen, Was du mir gewesen bist! Nimmermehr in all den Tagen, Nimmer in der langen Zeit - - - Was du mir getan zu Liebe, Was du mir getan zu Leid'!

T'was spring 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, And I can never forget What you meant to me! Nevermore in all the days, Never in the long time - - - What you did for love of me, What you did to cause me woe!
