Durch den Wald, den dunkeln, geht Holde Frühlingsmorgenstunde, Durch den Wald vom Himmel weht Eine leise Liebeskunde. Selig lauscht der grüne Baum, Und er taucht mit allen Zweigen In den schönen Frühlingstraum, In den vollen Lebensreigen. Blüht ein [Blümlein]1 irgendwo, Wird's vom hellen Tau getränket, Das [einsame]2 zittert froh, Daß der Himmel sein gedenket. In geheimer Laubesnacht Wird des Vogels Herz getroffen Von der [großen Liebesmacht]3, Und er singt ein süßes Hoffen. All' das frohe Lenzgeschick Nicht ein Wort des Himmels kündet, Nur sein stummer, warmer Blick Hat die Seligkeit entzündet; Also in den Winterharm, Der die Seele hielt bezwungen, Ist dein Blick mir, still und warm, Frühlingsmächtig eingedrungen.

Door het woud, het donk’re, gaat Lieve lentemorgenwijding, Door het woud de hemel praat Zacht en zoel een liefdestijding. Luist’rend lacht de groene boom, En hij duikt met alle takken In de mooie lentedroom, Wil het volle leven pakken. Bloeit een bloempje hier of daar, Gaat de lichte dauw het drenken; ’t Siddert blij van dit gebaar, Dat de hemel ‘t wil gedenken! In het lover, in de nacht Gaat het vogelhart ook open Door [de grote liefdesmacht]1 En het zingt van heerlijk hopen. Van de blije lentekick Heeft de hemel niet gesproken Slechts zijn stille, warme blik Heeft de zaligheid ontstoken; Zo zijn in het wintertij Dat mijn ziel steeds hield bedwongen, Mij jouw blikken, warm en blij, Jong en machtig [ingedrongen]2.
