Das Beet, schon lockert Sich's in die Höh, Da wanken Glöckchen So weiß wie Schnee; Safran entfaltet Gewalt'ge Gluth, Smaragden keimt es Und keimt wie Blut. Primeln stolzieren So naseweis, Schalkhafte Veilchen, Versteckt mit Fleiß; Was auch noch alles Da regt und webt, Genug, der Frühling, Er wirkt und lebt. Doch was im Garten Am reichsten blüht, Das ist des Liebchens Lieblich Gemüth. Da glühen Blicke Mir immerfort, Erregend Liedchen, Erheiternd Wort. Ein immer offen, Ein Blüthenherz, Im Ernste freundlich Und rein im Scherz. Wenn Ros' und Lilie Der Sommer bringt, Er doch vergebens Mit Liebchen ringt.

Ormai l'aiuola, si fa morbida e cresce! Le campanule oscillano bianche come neve; Lo zafferano mostra il suo colore più acceso, di smeraldo o rosso sangue sono i germogli; Le primule si pavoneggiano in modo sfacciato, Le furbe violette, si tengono ben nascoste; Qualunque cosa a vita si risvegli o agiti, E' primavera, che è viva ed agisce. Ma ciò che di più bello fiorisce nel giardino, E' l'animo soave dell'amore mio. Sempre si volge a me con espressione ardente, con canzoncine toccanti, con parole allegre, sempre aperto è il suo cuore in fiore, amichevole nella serietà e puro negli scherzi. Se pure l'estate porterà rose e gigli, sarà vana la contesa con l'amata mia.
