Äppelträd och päronträd, plommonträd och bigarå, alla ljusa jungfrur små, i små svarta flätor stå, rodnande i solen. Nyss var vinden lätt och späd, Hör, nu klingar hög och fri vårens hela melodi, hör, nu svinga broms och bi stråken för fiolen. Äppelträd och päronträd, plommonträd och bigarå, alla ljusa jungfrur små, i små vita hättor stå med små gröna spetsar på, rodnande i solen.
