Der Winter ging, der Sommer kam. Er bringt aufs neue wieder Den vielbeliebten Wunderkram Der Blumen und der Lieder. Wie das so wechselt Jahr um Jahr, Betracht ich fast mit Sorgen. Was lebte, starb, was ist, es war, Und heute wird zu morgen. Stets muß die Bildnerin Natur Den alten Ton benützen In Haus und Garten, Wald und Flur Zu ihren neuen Skizzen.

The winter's fled, the summer's here. Breaking forth from spring cocoons Are beloved reborn things which cheer Like blossoms bright and brilliant tunes. Such alterations year by year Mount up if seen as a sorrow: What's lived has died, and now is here, As today yields to tomorrow. Always a creativity in nature's womb Rewrites from the oldest parts In house and garden, woods and fields, In fresh sketches with it clever arts.
