Der Frühling
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Available translation(s): ENG
Wenn silberweiß Maßliebchen
Und Primeln zart und Veilchen blau
Und gelbe Kukuksblümelein
Die Wies' in Sonnenschein umblüh'n.
Des Kukuks Lied dann im Wald erklingt
Und weckt den Frühling wenn er singt:
       Kukuk!
Kukuk, Kukuk! der Frühling naht,
Wie er den frohen Ruf vernimmt.
 
Wenn Schäfer froh schalmei'n am See,
Und Lerchenschlag den Landmann weckt,
Die Taube hüpft mit Dohl' und Kräh',
Und bunter Blumen Pracht die Fluren deckt,
Des Kukuks Lied dann im Wald erklingt
Und weckt den Frühling wenn er singt
Von Berg zu Thal im Wiederhall
Und lauter wie die Vöglein all,
Des Kukuks Lied dann im Wald erklingt
Und weckt den Frühling wenn er singt:
Kuku, Kuku, der Frühling naht,
Wie er den frohen Ruf vernimmt.
