Silberhelles Kinderlachen Dringt zu mir wie Glockenton, Und in meiner Brust erwachen Laute, die vergessen schon. Was ich längst zu Grab getragen, Steigt nun auf wie Lerchensang: Aus der Kindheit fernen Tagen Läutet Osterglockenklang.

Silvery bright laughter of children Comes to me like the sound of bells, And in my breast there awaken Forgotten sounds. What I had long ago carried to its grave Arises now like the song of a lark: From the faraway days of childhood Sounds the chiming of Easter bells.
