Frühlingslied
 (Sung text for setting by C. Hohfeld)

In dem Walde sprießt und grünt es
Fast jüngfräulich lustbeklommen;
Doch die Sonne scheint herunter:
Junger Frühling, sei willkommen!

Nachtigall! auch dich schon hör' ich,
Wie du flötest selig trübe
Schluchzend langgezogne Töne,
Und dein Lied ist lauter Liebe!

Dans la forêt tout pousse et verdit
 (Sung text translation for setting by C. Hohfeld)
 See original
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Dans la forêt tout pousse et verdit,
Comme poussé par un pressant désir virginal ;
Le soleil alors rit sur la terre :
Bienvenue, jeune printemps !

Rossignol ! Toi aussi j'entends déjà
Ton chant, mélancolique et ravissant,
Sanglot de notes soutenues,
Et ton chant est pur amour !
