An ihren bunten Liedern klettert
Language: German (Deutsch)
[An]1 ihren bunten Liedern klettert Die Lerche selig in die Luft; Ein Jubelchor von Sängern schmettert Im Walde, voller Blüt' und Duft. Da sind, so weit die Blicke gleiten, Altäre festlich aufgebaut, Und all die tausend Herzen läuten Zur Liebesfeier dringend laut. Der Lenz hat Rosen angezündet An Leuchtern von Smaragd im Dom; Und jede Seele schwillt und mündet Hinüber in den Opferstrom.

Fête de l'amour
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Avec ses chants bigarrés l'alouette Grimpe avec bonheur dans les airs; Un allègre chœur de chanteurs s'égosille Dans la forêt, emplie de fleurs et de parfums. Là aussi loin que porte le regard, sont Érigés des autels de fête, Et tous ces milliers de cœurs carillonnent Pour la fête de l'amour, avec insistance et force. Le printemps a enflammé les roses Aux lumières d'émeraude de la cathédrale. Et chaque âme enfle et se jette Là-haut, dans le flot des offrandes.
