Berggipfel erglühen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Berggipfel erglühen, Waldwipfel erblühen, vom Lenzhauch geschwellt. Zugvogel mit Singen erhebt seine Schwingen, ich fahr' in die Welt! Mir ist zum Geleite in lichtgoldnem Kleide Frau Sonne bestellt. Sie wirft meinen Schatten auf blumige Matten. Ich fahr' in die Welt! Mein Hutschmuck die Rose, mein Lager im Moose, der Himmel mein Zelt; mag lauern und trauern, wer will, hinter Mauern ich fahr' in die Welt!

Mountain peaks are glowing
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Mountain peaks are glowing, forest peaks are blossoming, swelled by the breeze. swallows with singing flap their wings, I'm going out into the world! I am like the companion in light golden clothes that Mrs. Sun ordered. She casts my shadow on carpets of flowers. I'm going out into the world! My hat decoration is the rose, my bed in the moss, the sky is my tent; Whoever likes to can stay and mourn, behind walls I'm going out into the world!
