Winter ade!

So hört doch, was die Lerche singt!
Hört, wie sie frohe Botschaft bringt!
Es kommt auf goldnem Sonnenstrahl
Der Frühling heim in unser Thal,
Er streuet bunte Blumen aus
Und bringet Freud' in jedes Haus.
Winter, ade!
Frühling, juchhe!

Was uns die liebe Lerche singt,
In unsern Herzen wiederklingt.
Der Winter sagt ade! ade!
Und hin ist Kälte, Reif und Schnee
Und Nebel hin und Dunkelheit --
Willkommen, süße Frühlingszeit!
Winter, ade!
Frühling, juchhe!
