by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Liebesfrühling
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Wenn die Knospen alle springen,
Und die Lüfte wehen lau;
Wenn die Vögel wieder singen
Unterm Himmel klar und blau:
  Voller Sehnsucht möchtest wiegen
Du mit ihnen dich, mein Herz,
Über Wald und Ströme fliegen,
Immer höher, himmelwärts!

  Aber ist dir aufgegangen
Liebesfrühlings Zauberlicht,
Ist's, als ob die Engel sangen:
  Bleib nur drunten, komme nicht!
  Menschenkind, was mag's dir taugen,
Mitzufliegen ohne Ruh?
Schauest in der Liebsten Augen
Ja den schönsten Himmel du!

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, pages 159-160.
