Die Lerche jubelt lauter drein
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Die Lerche jubelt lauter drein,
Den Frühling zu begrüßen,
Sieht unter sich, in lichtem Schein,
Das erste Grün sie sprießen.
Und wär's ein Grab auch, drauf es schoßt,
Sie ändert nicht die Weise,
Das Grün auch, das auf Gräbern sproßt,
Mahnt an den Frühling leise.

The lark rejoices more loudly
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
The lark rejoices more loudly
To greet spring,
[And] below, in bright radiance,
It sees the first green burgeoning.
And even if it were a grave upon which it sprouts,
[The lark] does not change its melody;
Even the green that burgeons upon graves
Quietly reminds us of springtime.
