Die Winde sausen Am Tannenhang, Die Quellen brausen Das Thal entlang; Ich [wandr']1 in Eile Durch Wald und Schnee, Wohl manche Meile Von Höh zu Höh. Und will das Leben Im freien Thal Sich auch schon heben Zum Sonnenstrahl; Ich muß vorüber Mit wildem Sinn Und blicke lieber Zum Winter hin. Auf grünen Haiden, Auf bunten Au'n, Müßt' ich mein Leiden Nur immer schaun, Daß selbst am Steine Das Leben sprießt, Und ach! nur Eine [Ihr]2 Herz verschließt. O Liebe, Liebe, O Mayenhauch! Du drängst die Triebe Aus Baum und Strauch; Die Vögel singen [Auf grünen Höhn]3; Die Quellen springen Bei deinem Wehn! Mich läßt du schweifen Im [dunklen]4 Wahn Durch Windespfeifen Auf rauher Bahn. O [Frühlingsschimmer]5, O [Blüthenschein]6, Soll ich denn nimmer Mich dein erfreun?

De winden suizen door 't hellingwoud De bronnen ruisen, het dal is koud. Ik kan hier niet wijlen, loop zonder stop Besneeuwde mijlen, berg af berg op. Al tracht het leven in 't open dal Omhoog te streven naar 't zonlicht al, Ik moet naar ginder in wilde drang, 't Is naar de winter dat ik verlang. Op groene heiden, in 't bonte veld Word ik door 't lijden constant gekweld, Dat zelfs uit stenen het leven spruit, Terwijl die ene haar hart afsluit. O liefdedromen, o voorjaarswind, Jij perst de bomen, het botten begint, De vogels zingen daarginds in 't groen, De bronnen springen door jouw gezoen. Mij drijf je buiten, vol sombere waan, De winden fluiten, ruw is mijn baan. O lentetooitijd, o bloeifestijn, Zul jij dan nooit mij tot vreugde zijn?
