by (Carl Friedrich) Julius Altmann (1814 - 1873)

Blau ist der Himmel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Blau ist der Himmel, 
Klar ist die Luft;
Süß uns umhauchet 
Äther und Duft;
Blume an Blume 
Blinkend ersprießt --
  Perle des Jahres,
  Lenz, sei gegrüßt!

Froh von den Bergen
Springet der Quell;
Wie ist die Welle
Silbern und hell!
Nieder zum Thale
Munter sie fließt --
  Perle des Jahres,
  Lenz, sei gegrüßt!

Waldwipfel flüstern
Zärtlich und weich,
Vöglein singen
Sanft im Gezweig.
Wie sich der Strom der
Töne ergießt --
  Perle des Jahres,
  Lenz, sei gegrüßt!
