Über'm Garten durch die Lüfte
Hört' ich Wandervögel ziehn,
Das bedeutet Frühlingsdüfte,
Unten fängt's schon an zu blühn.
Jauchzen möcht' ich, möchte weinen,
Ist's mir doch, als könnt's nicht sein!
Alte Wunder wieder scheinen
Mit dem Mondenglanz herein.
Und der Mond, die Sterne sagen's,
Und im Träumen rauscht's der Hain,
Und die Nachtigallen schlagen's:
Sie, ja sie ist dein, sie ist dein!
Note: the Dover score for Schumann's song has "Alle" instead of "Alte" in stanza 2, line 3, word 1.
Composition:
Set to music by Hans Bill (1863 - 1936), "Frühlingsnacht", op. 7 no. 6, published 1889 [ voice and piano ], Landshut, Krüll

Over gardens and across the heavens -
Hear the birds in passing flight!
It's my sign that spring's now coming -
Early flowers bloom tonight.
O, what fragrance, what rejoicing -
now I weep with happiness to know
As the wonders appear, returning -
from the moonlight's loving glow
And the skies, the stars announce it -
echos flying thru' the air
While the nightingales ring joyful -
Love is mine - love is mine.
