Im Frühling

Die Blumen sinds aufgegangen,
Krystallen glänzt der See:
Dies Blüh'n und Leuchten und Prangen
Thut meinem Herzen weh!

Ich wollte, Winter bliebe
Und die Blumen wachten nicht auf
Bis Glück mir blühet und Liebe
Zu wonnigen Lebenslauf.

by Robert Hamerling (1830-1889)

Droeve lente

De bloemen zijn aan 't herbloeien
En stralend glanst de zee
Dat bloeien en glansen en stralen
Doet aan mijn herte wee!

Ik wou dat't winter bleve
En dat't nimmer meer lente werd
Tot eens de zonne der liefde,
Weer opgaan mag in mijn hert.
