Frühlingswonne
Language:
German
Der Frühling strahlt durch Feld und Au,
die Luft ist so warm und der Himmel so blau;
die Vöglein singen in Feld und Hain:
o mögt es doch immer so wonig sein!
Mai-blumen blühen am klaren Quell
und spiegeln sich frei in der silbernen Well,
sie nicken und blacken so freundlich hinein:
O mögt es doch immer so wonig sein!
Einsam versteckt im grünen Moos,
vom Thau benetzt in der Mutter Schooss,
da duften die Veilchen im Sonnenschein:
O mögt es doch immer so wonig sein!
Der Käfer schwirret im Sonnenstrahl;
es gleichet die Flur einem lustigen Saal;
drin spielen die Kinder in munteren Reih'n:
O mögt es doch immer so wonig sein!

Spring's delights
Language:
English
Fair Spring is ranging the meadows through,
the air is so warm and the sky is so blue;
the birds sing loudly in tree and sky:
o rapture of Spring! Could1 it last but for aye!
Mayflowers bloom by the crystal stream
where mirrored like flashes of silver they gleam;
how friendly they nod as we pass them by:
o rapture of Spring might it last but for aye!
Hiding away in mossy nest
where dew lies thickest on earth's kind breast
the violet opens its tiny eye:
O rapture of Spring could it last but for aye!
The beetle hums where the sunlight falls
the bright meadow seems like the grandest of halls;
where children may merrily play, laughing high;
o rapture of Spring might it last but for aye!
