Im Wald, im hellen Sonnenschein
Wenn alle Knospen springen,
Da mag ich gerne mittendrein
Eins singen.
Wie mir zu Muth in Leid und Lust,
Im Wachen und im Träumen,
Das stimm' ich an aus voller Brust
Den Bäumen.
...
Da fühlt die Brust am eignen Klang,
Sie darf sich was erkühnen --
O frischer, froher Lustgesang
Im Grünen!

In 't bos, in held're zonneschijn,
Als alle knoppen springen,
Ik wil heel graag in dat festijn
Eens zingen.
Hoe ik me voel in lief en leed,
In waken en in dromen,
Dat presenteer 'k met luide kreet
De bomen.
...
Het hart put kracht uit eigen drang,
Nu kan het zich pas uiten.
O fris genot! Gezang, gezang
Daar buiten!
