O freu dich, Mensch: Deine Welt erschallt! Überall ist Frühling, wo dein Herz nachtigallt! Menschenlieder, ihr schwanken Meer- und Himmels-Gedanken, Berg-, Fluß-, Fluren-Träume, Wolken- und Wellen-Schäume, Wäldversunkenheiten, Sternentrunkenheiten, Wein- und Blumen-Gelüste, schwellende Lippen und Brüste bis hinauf zur Sonne -- ja: ihr wiegt uns in Wonne!

Ô réjouis-toi, homme : ton monde éclate ! Le printemps est partout, où ton cœur gringotte ! Chants des hommes, vous flottez Pensées de mer et de ciel, Rêves de montagnes, de rivières de champs, Écumes de nuages et de vagues, Méditations en forêt, Ivresse des étoiles, Envies de vin et de fleurs, Lèvres et poitrines se soulevant Jusque vers le soleil -- Oui : vous nous bercez dans le plaisir !
