[Frühling]1 läßt sein blaues Band
Wieder flattern durch die Lüfte;
Süße, wohlbekannte Düfte
Streifen ahnungsvoll das Land.
Veilchen träumen schon,
Wollen balde kommen.
-- Horch, [von fern ein leiser]2 Harfenton!
Frühling, ja du bist's!
Dich hab' ich vernommen!

Zij is er!
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Lente laat haar blauwe band
Weer frivool de luchten kleuren;
Zoete, welbekende geuren
Strelen suggestief het land.
Viooltjes1, droombekoord,
Zullen weldra komen.
Hoor, [van ver een lieflijk]2 harpakkoord!
Lente, jij bent hier!
Jou heb 'k waargenomen!
