'''Spring's approach''' | |||
O first sweet breath of balmy air, | |||
O first chaste kiss from violet fair; | |||
Fond heart, ah! why this beating? | |||
Dost call to mind the long sweet hours, | |||
Thy youth's bright dreams, her perfumed flowers: | |||
Young love, and lovers' meeting? | |||
''O first sweet breath of balmy air, | |||
''O first chaste kiss from violet fair; | |||
''Fond heart, ah! why this beating? | |||
I know not why, there comes a breeze, | |||
A gentle breath through budding trees, | |||
From yonder valley sleeping, | |||
That wakes my heart to hope and prayer, | |||
That soothes my woe, my anxious care, | |||
And stays my hopeless weeping. | |||
''O first sweet breath…}} | |||

'''Frühlingsanfang''' | |||
O erster Hauch der Frühlingsluft, | |||
O erster, süsser Veilchenduft, | |||
Was wechst du mir im Herzen? | |||
Rufst du vergang'ne Tage zurück, | |||
Voll Jugendleid, voll Jugendglück, | |||
Voll Lust und Lieb und Scherzen? | |||
''O erster Hauch der Frühlingsluft, | |||
''O erster, süsser Veilchenduft, | |||
''Was wechst du mir im Herzen? | |||
Ich weiss es nicht, Es ist ein Weh'n, | |||
Ein leises, süsses Aufersteh'n | |||
Im Thal, wie in dem Herzen; | |||
Als müsst' ich beten zu dieser Stund' | |||
Aus meine Seel', tiefstem Grund, | |||
Aus meiner Sehn sucht Schmerzen. | |||
