Es lockt und säuselt um den Baum:
Wach auf aus deinem Schlaf und Traum,
Der Winter ist zerronnen.
Da schlägt er frisch den Blick empor,
Die Augen sehen hell hervor
Ans goldne Licht der Sonnen.
Es zieht ein Wehen sanft und lau,
Geschaukelt in dem Wolkenbau
Wie Himmelsduft hernieder.
Da werden alle Blumen wach,
Da tönt der Vögel schmelzend Ach,
Da kehrt der Frühling wieder.
...
Es weht der Wind den Blütenstaub
Von Kelch zu Kelch, von Laub zu Laub,
Durch Tage und durch Nächte.
Flieg auch, mein Herz, und flattre fort,
Such hier ein Herz und such es dort,
Du triffst vielleicht das Rechte.

Te atrae y susurra alrededor del árbol:
«Despierta de tu sopor y tu sueño,
el invierno se ha derretido».
Luego alza su fresca mirada,
sus ojos observan límpidos
a la dorada luz del sol.
Se levanta una suave y tibia brisa que,
meciéndose entre la masa de nubes,
desciende como una fragancia celestial.
Entonces despiertan todas las flores.
Entonces entonan lánguidas quejas los pájaros,
Entonces retorna la primavera una vez más.
...
El viento porta el polen
de cáliz en cáliz, de fronda a fronda,
durante los días y las noches.
Vuela tú también, corazón mío, y aletea lejos.
Busca un corazón aquí y allá.
Quizá encuentres el adecuado.
