by Karl Klingemann (1798 - 1862)

Es brechen im schallenden Reigen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT
Es brechen [im]1 schallenden Reigen
Die Frühlingsstimmen los,
Sie können's nicht länger verschweigen,
Die Wonne ist gar zu groß!
Wohin, sie ahnen es selber kaum,
Es rührt sie ein alter, ein süßer Traum!

Die Knospen schwellen und glühen
Und drängen sich an das Licht,
Und warten in sehnendem Blühen, 
Daß liebende Hand sie bricht.
Wohin, sie ahnen es selber kaum,
Es rührt sie ein alter, ein süßer Traum!

Und Frühlingsgeister, sie steigen
Hinab in der Menschen Brust,
Und regen da drinnen den Reigen
Der ew'gen Jugendlust.
Wohin, wir ahnen es selber kaum,
Es rührt uns ein alter, ein süßer Traum!
