Ich hab' in mich gesogen Den Frühling treu und lieb, Daß er, der Welt entflogen, Hier in der Brust mir blieb. Hier sind die blauen Lüfte, Hier sind die grünen Aun, Die Blumen hier, die Düfte, Der blühnde Rosenzaun. [Und hier am Busen lehnet Mit süßem Liebesach, Die Liebste, die sich sehnet Den Frühlingswonnen nach.]1 Sie lehnt sich an, zu lauschen, Und hört in stiller Lust Die Frühlingsströme rauschen In ihres Dichters Brust. Da quellen auf die Lieder Und strömen über sie Den [vollen]2 Frühling nieder, Den mir der Gott verlieh. Und wie sie, davon trunken, Umblicket rings im Raum, [Blüht auch]3 von ihren Funken Die Welt, ein Frühlingstraum.

I have drunk in the Spring true and dear, so that, having fled the earth, it will remain here in my breast. Here are the blue skies, here are the green meadows, the flowers here, the breezes, the blooming rose fence. And here on my bosom leans with a sweet love sigh, my sweetheart, who longs for the bliss of spring. She leans on me to listen and hears with quiet joy the murmuring of spring streams in her poet's breast. There spring forth songs and they stream over her, full of the spring that God has conferred on me. And as she, intoxicated by it all, gazes around in space, the world blooms also from her sparks: a dream of Spring.
