by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Frau Venus
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
  Was weckst du, Frühling, mich von neuem wieder?
Daß all die alten Wünsche auferstehen,
Geht übers Land ein wunderbares Wehen;
Das schauert mir so lieblich durch die Glieder.

  Die schöne Mutter grüßen tausend Lieder,
Sie wieder jung im Brautkranz süß zu sehen;
Der Wald will sprechen, rauschend Ströme gehen,
Najaden tauchen singend auf und nieder.

  Die Rose seh' ich gehn aus grüner Klause
Und, wie so buhlerisch die Lüfte fächeln,
Errötend in die laue Flut sich dehnen.

  So mich auch ruft ihr aus dem stillen Hause --
Und schmerzlich nun muß ich im Frühling lächeln,
Versinkend zwischen Duft und Klang vor Sehnen.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff, Leipzig: C.F. Amelangs Verlag, 1892, pages 218-219.
