Leise zieht durch mein Gemüth
Language: German (Deutsch)
Leise zieht durch mein Gemüth Liebliches Geläute. Klinge, kleines Frühlingslied, Kling' hinaus in's Weite. Kling' hinaus bis an das Haus, Wo die Blumen sprießen. Wenn du eine Rose schaust, Sag' ich lass' sie grüßen.

Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Soft and gently through my soul Sweetest bells are ringing, Speed you forth, my little song, Of springtime blithely singing! Speed you onward to a house Where sweet flowers are fleeting! If, perchance, a rose you see, Say, I send her greeting!
