[Wann]1 die Lämmer wieder springen, Lerchen jubeln, Rosen glühn, Muß das kränkste Herze singen Und im Welken noch erblühn. Wer in bangen Lebensschmerzen Einsam jetzt die Straße [geht]2, Singet selbst aus düstrem Herzen, Wie ein Lied aus Wolken [weht]3. Wer verbannt, das Aug' in Tränen, Jetzt im fremden Lande zieht, Durch betaute Blumen tönen Läßt [der seiner]4 Heimat Lied. Flüsse, Saaten, tönend wallen; Aus dem fernsten [Himmel blau]5 Weht ein Singen, lieblich Schallen, Über Wald und helle Au. Alter Gram, nun zeuch von hinnen, Fülle nicht dies Herze bang! Strömet ein von Himmelszinnen Morgenrot und Lustgesang.
H. Schnaubelt sets stanzas 1-3, 5

When the lambs gambol again, Larks rejoice, roses glow, The sickest heart must sing And bloom even in wilting. Who in anxious pains of life Now [walks]1 the street alone, Sings even from a sombre heart As a song [wafts]2 forth from clouds. Who in exile, with eyes full of tears, Now travels in foreign lands, [Lets]3 the song of his homeland Ring out through bedewed flowers. Rivers, freshly sown fields, resoundingly surge; From the most distant [heaven bluely]4 Wafts a singing, lovely ringing, Over forest and bright meadow. Old grief, now go away from here, Do not anxiously fill this heart! May [into my heart] from the parapets of heaven Sunrise and songs of joy stream in.
1 Raff: "flees"

3 Raff: "He now lets"
