Es geht ein Frühlingsgrüßen Hin durch die weite Welt, Die duftigen Veilchen sprießen, Es grünet Wald und Feld. Die Nachtigallen singen, Die Blüthe nickt vom Baum; Das ist ein Jubeln, ein Klingen Im blauen Himmelsraum! Das Herz schaut ganz erschrocken In all die Luft hinein, Die Blumen schmeicheln und locken: "Du mußt auch fröhlich sein!" Das will nicht leicht ihm dünken, Der Winter war so trüb' -- Doch fort und fort sie winken, Die Blumen gar zu lieb. Da wirft's das Joch der Schmerzen Weit ab und jauchzet frei, -- Lenz draußen und Lenz im Herzen, Der Winter ist vorbei! --

A springtime greeting passes Through the wide world, The scented violets are sprouting, Forest and field are turning green. The nightingales are singing, The blossom nods from the tree; That is a rejoicing, a resounding In the blue canopy of heaven! All startled the heart gazes Into all the air, The flowers flatter and entice: "You too must be happy!" The heart does not find that easy, The winter was so dreary -- But on and on they wave The flowers, quite too sweetly. Then the heart casts off the yoke Of pain and rejoices freely, -- Spring outdoors and spring in the heart, Winter is over! --
