Willkommen im Grünen!
Language: German (Deutsch)

Willkommen im Grünen!
Der Himmel ist blau, 
Und blumig die Au!
Der Lenz ist erschienen!
Er spiegelt sich hell
Am luftigen Quell, 
  Im Grünen!

Willkommen im Grünen!
Das Vögelchen springt
Auf Sprossen, und singt:
Der Lenz ist erschienen!
Ihm säuselt der West
Ums heimliche Nest,
 Im Grünen!

Willkommen im Grünen!
Aus knorrigem Spalt 
Der Eichen erschallt 
Das Sumsen der Bienen;
Flink tragen sie heim
Den würzigen Seim
  Im Grünen!

Willkommen im Grünen! 
Es blöcket im Thal 
Das Lämmchen, vom Stral sic 
Der Sonne beschienen;
Das fleckige Reh 
Durchhüpfet den Klee
  Im Grünen! 

Willkommen im Grünen! 
Hier labt uns der Most, 
Bei ländlicher Kost; 
Und Weiblein bedienen! 
Hier ruhen wir weich
Am plätschernden Teich 
  Im Grünen! 

Willkommen im Grünen! 
Hier darf man vertraut 
Gelagert im Kraut,
Zum Kuß sich erkühnen! 
Es wallet vor Lust 
Auch Weiblein die Brust 
  Im Grünen! 

Willkommen im Grünen! 
Ein Kranz von Gezweig 
Und Blüten wird euch 
Die Strafende sühnen. 
Die sprödeste Frau 
Nimmt's nicht so genau
  Im Grünen!

Welcome into nature!
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
Welcome into nature!
The sky is blue,
And flowery the meadow,
Spring has appeared!
It shines brightly
At the cool spring,
Welcome into nature!

Welcome into nature!
The little bird springs
Off the sprout and sings:
Spring has appeared!
The west wind murmurs to him
Around his secret nest,
Welcome into nature!
