Frühlingslied
 (Sung text for setting by C. Loewe)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Am Birkenzweige blättert
Der volle Keim herauf;
Das frohe Eichhorn klettert
den Stamm hinab, hinauf.
Die trägen Winterschläfer: 
die Bienen und die Käfer
Und Hummel, wachen auf. 

Mit grünen Wasserlinsen
Färbst sich der Wiesen Moor;
Es hüpft an Schilf, und Binsen
Der muntre Frosch hervor. 
Die Wasserjungfern fliegen
Am Ufer hin, und wiegen
Sich froh am jungen Rohr. 

Und an den Gartenbämen
Wird alles weiß und grün.
Die Maienblümchen keimen,
Holunder, und Jesmin. 
Bald wird die Ros', o Wonne!
Am wärmern Strahl der Sonne
Für alle Menschen blühn.
