Dem Herzen ähnlich, wenn es lang Umsonst nach einer Träne rang, Die seine Qual entbinde, Sprengt nun die Erde, die erstarrt Von Reif und Frost gebunden ward, Die eis'ge Winterrinde. Durch Wald und Feld, um Berg und See Sprießt wuchernd auf ihr altes Weh' Und grünt in Zweig und Ranken Und dunkelt in dem Himmelsblau Und zittert in [den]1 Tropfen Tau, Die an den Gräsern schwanken. Nun, Gram um sie, die ich verlor, Erstarrter, brich auch du hervor, Um mit dem Strom zu fluten!2 Im Blitz der Wolke sollst du glüh'n Und mit den Nachtviolen blüh'n Und [in]3 den Rosen bluten.

Pareille au cœur qui longtemps À lutté en vain contre les pleurs Que ses tourments ont libérés, La terre, qui était enserrée Et figée par le givre et le gel, Fait éclater la croûte glacée de l'hiver ; Par les forêts et les champs, les monts et les lacs, Tout jaillit de ses anciennes contractions, Et cela fait verdir les rameaux et les vrilles Et s'assombrir le bleu du ciel Et frissonner dans les gouttes de rosée Qui vacillent dans l'herbe. Maintenant, chagrin de l'avoir perdue, Chagrin qui paralyse, éclate aussi, Pour avec ton flot tout inonder. Éclate ! Dans l'éclair des nuages puisses-tu rayonner Et fleurir avec les violettes Et fleurir avec les roses.
1 Strauss here adds a line that can be translated "Éclate!"
