Wieder schreitet er den braunen Pfad Von den stürmeklaren Berge nieder, Wieder quellen, wo der Schöne naht, Liebe Blumen auf und Vogellieder. Wieder auch verführt er meinen Sinn, Daß in dieser zart erblühten Reine Mir die Erde, deren Gast ich bin, Eigentum und holde Heimat scheine.

Once more [spring] strides along the brown path Down from the storm-cleared mountains, Again, everywhere the beautiful one nears, Dear flowers and bird songs well forth. Again my spirit, too, is seduced, That in this delicately blossoming purity The earth, whose guest I am, can seem To be my own and my lovely homeland.
