In dem Walde sprießt und grünt es
Language: German (Deutsch)
In dem Walde sprießt und grünt es Fast jüngfräulich lustbeklommen; Doch die Sonne [lacht]1 herunter: Junger Frühling, sei willkommen! Nachtigall! auch dich schon hör' ich, Wie du flötest selig trübe Schluchzend langgezogne Töne, Und dein Lied ist lauter Liebe!

Spring song
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
In the forest it blooms and greens almost virginally full of desire; yet the sun laughs down: young Spring, welcome! Nightingale, I already hear how you sing, blissfully sad, long, sobbing tones, and your song is pure love!
