Der Frühling ist kommen, die Erde erwacht.
Es blühen der Blumen genung.
Ich habe schon wieder auf Lieder gedacht,
Ich fühle so frisch mich, so jung.
Die Sonne bescheinet die blumige Au,
Der Wind beweget das Laub.
Wie sind mir geworden die Locken so grau?
Das ist doch ein garstiger Staub.
Es bauen die Nester und singen sich ein
Die zierlichen Vögel so gut.
Und ist es kein Staub nicht, was sollt es denn sein?
Mir ist wie den Vögeln zu Mut.
Der Frühling ist kommen, die Erde erwacht,
Es blühen der Blumen genung.
Ich habe schon wieder auf Lieder gedacht,
Ich fühle so frisch mich, so jung.

Springtime
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Spring has come, the earth awakens
Flowers are blooming plentifully.
I have again turned my thoughts to poems,
I feel so alive, so young.
The sun shines down on the flowery meadow,
The wind moves the foliage.
How have my locks become so gray?
That is indeed a nasty dust.
The delicate birds are building nests
And warming up to sing so expertly.
And if it be not dust, what must it be then?
I feel just like the birds do.
Spring has come, the earth awakens
Flowers are blooming plentifully.
I have again turned my thoughts to poems,
I feel so alive, so young.
