by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Die Erde sagt es den Lerchen an
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Erde sagt es den Lerchen an,
Daß der Frühling gekommen sei.
Da schwingen sie sich himmelan
Und singen es laut und frei.

Es hört's der Wald, es hört's das Feld,
Die Wiesenblumen und Quellen,
Und endlich hört's die ganze Welt,
Auch der Mensch in seinen Zellen.
Der Mensch hört es zuletzt, und sieht
Nur wie der Frühling ihn, entflieht.
