I
 Liebliche Blume, 
 bist du so früh schon 
 wiedergekommen?
 Sei mir gegrüsset, 
 Primula veris!

 Leiser denn alle 
 Blumen der Wiese 
 hast du geschlummert,
 liebliche Blume,
 Primula veris!

 Dir nur vernehmbar 
 lockte das erste 
 Sanfte Geflüster
 weckenden Frühlings,
 Primula veris!

 Mir auch am Herzen 
 blühte vor Zeiten,
 schöner als alle 
 Blumen der Liebe,
 Primula veris!

 ...
