Jedes Kind weiß, was der Frühling spricht: Lebe, wachse, blühe, hoffe, liebe, Freue dich und treibe neue Triebe, Gib dich hin und fürcht das Leben nicht! Jeder Greis weiß, was der Frühling spricht: Alter Mann, laß dich begraben, Räume deinen Platz den muntern Knaben, Gib dich hin und fürcht das Sterben nicht!
