Im Rosenduft, im reichen Blütensegen, Im tief verborg'nen, lenzdurchsonnten Tal, Da schweigt im Herzen jedes Leid, Und wandelt sich zur Seligkeit, Laß fern die Welt sich regen! O frage nicht: Wo fließt des Glückes Bronnen? O frage nicht: Gibt es noch größ're Freud'? Schlag zur Natur die Augen auf, Sie gibt allein dir Antwort drauf, Dir kündens ihre Wonnen.

In the scent of roses, in the rich blessing of blossoms, In the well-concealed valley, sunned by springtime, There every sorrow falls silent in the heart And transforms itself to bliss, Let the world bustle in the distance! Oh do not ask: Where flows the wellspring of happiness? Oh do not ask: Is there yet greater joy? Raise your eyes to Nature, Only she gives you an answer, All her joys proclaim it to you.
