Welch ein Schwirren, welch ein Flug? Sei willkommen, Lerchenzug! Jene streift der Wiese Saum, Diese rauschet durch den Baum. Manche schwingt sich himmelan, Jauchzend auf der lichten Bahn, Eine, voll von [Liedeslust]1, Flattert hier in meiner Brust.
1 Horneman: "Liebeslust"

What whirring, what flying? I bid you welcome, flock of migrating larks! That one ranges along the border of the meadow, This one rustles through the trees. Many a one soars up toward heaven, Rejoicing on the brightly lit pathway, One, full of the joy of song, Is fluttering here within my breast.
