by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Wenn der Frühling kommt mit dem...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT FRE
Wenn der Frühling kommt mit dem Sonnenschein,
Dann knospen und blühen die Blümlein auf;
Wenn der Mond beginnt seinen Strahlenlauf,
Dann schwimmen die Sternlein hinterdrein;
Wenn der Sänger zwei süße Äuglein sieht, 
Dann quellen ihm Lieder aus tiefem Gemüth; --
Doch Lieder und Sterne und Blümelein,
Und Äuglein und Mondglanz und Sonnenschein,
Wie sehr das Zeug auch gefällt,
So machts doch noch lang' keine Welt.
