  Nun jeder Baum ein Blüthenstrauß,
O Lust, o Lust, zu wandern 
Weit in die schöne Welt hinaus

Daß frisch es von den Felsen hallt,
Und prächtig muss erklingen!

Springtime ramble

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Abt)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

  Now that every tree is a blossom-bouquet,
Oh joy, oh joy, to ramble
Far out into the beautiful world
From one valley to another!
  Now every bird is singing in the forest,
Oh joy, to sing along,
So that it echoes briskly from the rocky crags
And must resound in splendour!
