Der Frühhauch hat gefächelt Hinweg die schwüle Nacht, Die Flur holdselig lächelt In ihrer Lenzespracht; Mild singt vom dunkeln Baume Ein Vöglein in der Früh, Es singt noch halb in Traume Gar süße Melodie. Die Rosenknospe hebet Empor ihr Köpfchen bang, Denn wundersam durchbebet Hat sie der süße Sang; Und mehr und mehr enthüllet Sich ihrer Blätter Füll', Und eine Träne quillet Hervor so heimlich still.

La brise du matin a soufflé Au loin la nuit sensuelle, La prairie sourit de manière charmante Dans sa gloire printanière ; De doux chants depuis l'arbre sombre Viennent d'un petit oiseau tôt le matin, Il chante encore à moitié dans le rêve Une mélodie si douce. Le bouton de rose lève Timidement sa petite tête, Car merveilleusement il a été agité Par le doux chant ; Et de plus en plus se déploie La plénitude de ses pétales, Et une larme jaillit Si secrètement et silencieusement.
