by Wilhelm Buchholz

Was blitzt mir vor den Augen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was blitzt mir vor den Augen?
Was tönt so süß dem Ohr?
Was singt die Lust der Lieder
aus langem Schlaf empor?

Bezaubert dich im Grünen
die warme Veilchenluft?
Ist's, weil die Liebe sprengte
die winterliche Gruft?

Herz, wenn im Rausch der Jugend
dir stürmisch wallt das Blut,
frag' nicht, ob es die Liebe,
ob es der Frühliung tut!

Bergauf und Tal hernieder
zieh' mit dem Sonnenschein
und stimm' in alle Lieder
auch du frohlockend ein!
