Vom Grund bis zu den Gipfeln, So weit man sehen kann, Jetzt blüht's in allen Wipfeln, Nun geht das Wandern an: Die Quellen von den Klüften, Die Ström' auf grünem Plan, Die Lerchen hoch in Lüften, Die ziehen frisch voran. Und die im Tal verderben In trüber Sorgen Haft, Die will der Frühling werben Zu dieser Wanderschaft. Und von den Bergen nieder Erschallt sein Ruf ins Tal, Und die zerstreuten Brüder Sie hören's allzumal. Da wird die Welt so munter Und nimmt die Reiseschuh, das Liebchen mittendrunter sie nickt uns heimlich zu. Und über Felsenwände Und auf dem grünen Plan Das wirrt und jauchzt ohn Ende -- Nun geht das Wandern an!

Van 't dal tot aan de toppen, Zo ver men zien maar kan, Zit bloei in alle bomen: Nu vangt het trekken aan. De bronnen uit de kloven, De stromen op 't plateau, Leeuw'riken in de lucht hoog, Die voeren aan de show. En die in 't dal verkomm'ren, Door zorg en vrees bezocht, Die wil de lente lokken Naar deze wandeltocht. En van de hoge bergen Weerklinkt zijn roep in 't dal, En de verspreide broeders Zij horen 't allemaal. Een krijgt de smaak te pakken, Rust voor de reis zich toe, En liefje ondertussen, Die knikt ons stiekem toe. En over rotspartijen En op het groen plateau 't Gejuich neemt daar geen einde -- De tocht begint nu zo!
