Our translations: CAT
Der Frühling ist erschienen. Hyazinten und Tulpen und Narzissen steigen lachend aus allen Beeten auf. Doch wo bleibst du? Wo bleibst du? Die Erde hält dich fest in ihrem Dunkel. Ich werde weinen gleich der Frühlingswolke, vielleicht daß du dann doch aus deiner Tiefe emporsteigst, als des Lenzes schönste Blume!
