by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

Cantate!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Chosen for Diff
Die Primeln und die Veilchen blühn,
es rauscht in tollen Sprüngen
das Bächlein durch das junge Grün 
und frohe Vöglein singen, 
umblickt vom Frühlingssonnenschein 
in hellen Jubelmelodein:
              Cantate!   cantate! 

Das ist die schönste Zeit im Jahr, 
die Blütenzeit der Lieder, 
drum klingt von Stimmen hell und klar 
auch Erd' und Himmel wider, 
und mahnend klingt's an jedes Ohr:
Auf, mischt euch in den frohen Chor! 
              Cantate!  cantate!

Confirmed with Julius Sturm, Für das Haus, Leipzig, F. A. Brockhaus, 1862, page 18.
