Ich hab' in mich gesogen
Den Frühling treu und lieb,
Daß er, der Welt entflogen,
Hier in der Brust mir blieb.
Hier sind die blauen Lüfte,
Hier sind die grünen Aun,
Die Blumen hier, die Düfte,
Der blühnde Rosenzaun.
Und hier am Busen lehnet
Mit süßem Liebesach,
Die Liebste, die sich sehnet
Den Frühlingswonnen nach.
Sie lehnt sich an, zu lauschen,
Und hört in stiller Lust
Die Frühlingsströme rauschen
In ihres Dichters Brust.
Da quellen auf die Lieder
Und strömen über sie
Den vollsten Frühling nieder,
Den mir der Gott verlieh.
Und wie sie, davon trunken,
Umblicket rings im Raum,
Blüht auch von ihren Funken
Die Welt, ein Frühlingstraum.

I have drunk in
the Spring true and dear,
so that, having fled the earth,
it will remain here in my breast.
Here are the blue skies,
here are the green meadows,
the flowers here, the breezes,
the blooming rose fence.
And here on my bosom leans
with a sweet love sigh,
my sweetheart, who longs
for the bliss of spring.
She leans on me to listen
and hears with quiet joy
the murmuring of spring streams
in her poet's breast.
There spring forth songs
and they stream over her,
full of the spring
that God has conferred on me.
And as she, intoxicated by it all,
gazes around in space,
the world blooms also from her sparks:
a dream of Spring.
