by Friedrich Hölderlin (1770 - 1843)

Der Frühling
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Wenn neu das Licht der Erde sich gezeiget,
Von Frühlingsregen glänzt das grüne Thal und munter
Der Blüthen Weiß am hellen Strom hinunter,
Nachdem ein heitrer Tag zu Menschen sich geneiget.

Die Sichtbarkeit gewinnt von hellen Unterschieden,
Der Frühlingshimmel weilt mit seinem Frieden,
Daß ungestört der Mensch des Jahres Reiz betrachtet,
Und auf Vollkommenheit des Lebens achtet.

Note: The poem has the following words beneath it:

Mit Unterthänigkeit,
Scardanelli
d. 15. Merz 1842
