Mutter! Ach in meinem Herzen
Zittert noch kein Frühlingsstrahl,
Will's nicht keimen, will's nicht blühen,
Ist noch alles todt und kahl!

Löse doch die harte Rinde,
Die mein Inn'res mir umstarrt,
Wärm' die Seele, die mit Sehnsucht
Ihrem Lenz entgegenharrt.

Lasse Maienglöcklein spriessen,
Himmelsblumen licht und klar:
Gib mir Keuschheit, Demuth, Milde,
Mach mich fromm und rein und wahr!
Note for stanza 3, line 2: In the alto part of the anonymous composer's score there is a typo and this word is given as “leicht.”

Composition:

    Set to music by Max Reger (1873 - 1916), no title, op. 61d no. 1, published 1902 [ satb chorus ], from Acht Marienlieder, no. 1, Leipzig: C.F.W. Siegel
