Golden lacht und glüht der Morgen Über maiengrünen Höh'n, Und [du, Seele, sinnst]1 voll Sorgen, Und die Welt ist doch so schön! Vöglein singen, Glocken schlagen, [Blütenlicht durchflammt]2 das Land. Wirf dein [Zagen und dein Klagen]3 [Herz]4, in diesen Freudenbrand!
1 Wolf: "die Seele bricht"
2 Wolf: "Blütenduft durchzieht"
3 Wolf: "Klagen und dein Zagen"
4 Wolf: "Ganz"

Golden, the morning laughs and glows Over the heights in the green of May. And [you, soul, brood]1, full of anxieties, And yet the world is so beautiful! Little birds sing, bells ring, The [light of blossoms flames]2 through the land. Cast your [hesitations and your laments, Heart,]3 into this fire of joy!
1 Wolf: "the soul breaks"
2 Wolf: "The scent of blossoms passes"
3 Wolf: "laments and your hesitations/ Completely"
