Er ist's

Frühling 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]1 Harfenton!
Frühling, ja du bist's!
Dich hab ich vernommen!

by Eduard Mörike (1804-1875) , "Er ist's"
