 ... 
Und wir nah'n noch halb in Träumen
Und wir thun in Klängen kund,
Was da draußen in den Bäumen
Singt der weite Frühlingsgrund.
Regt der Tag erst laut die Schwingen:
Sind wir Alle wieder weit --
Aber tief im Herzen klingen
Lange nach noch Lust und Leid.

 ... 
and we come near, half in a dream,
and we make known in our sounds
what, outside among the trees,
the wide Spring valley sings.
Once the day loudly moves its wings,
we are all once again far away;
but deep in your heart resound
joy and sorrow for a long time afterward.
