by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863 - 1920)

Weil nun wieder Frühling ist
Language: English 
Our translations:  FRE
Weil nun wieder Frühling ist,
Leute, 
streu ich butterblumengelber Kasper
[lachend]1
Lauter lilablaue Asternblüten, 
hei, ins helle Feld!

Lilablaue Astern, liebe Leute,
Astern 
blühn im deutschen Vaterland bekanntlich 
bloß im Herbst.

[Aber]1 ich, ich butterblumengelber Kasper,
streue,
[weil nun wieder heller Frühling ist,
tanzend]1
tausend dunkelblaue Asternblüten, 
hei, in alle Welt!
