Das holde Tal hat schon die Sonne wieder
mit Frühlingsblüt' und Blumen angefüllt,
die Nachtigall singt immer neue Lieder
dem Hochgefühl, das ihr entgegenquillt.

Erfreue dich der gottverliehnen Gaben,
froh, wie er dich erschuf,
will er dich haben.

    Set to music by Fanny Hensel (1805 - 1847), "Das holde Tal", 1840 [ vocal duet for soprano and tenor with piano ]
