English text

Lovely Spring o'er earth is dawning,
Winter's i­cy fetters scorning,
Gushing streams and budding flowers,
Nature calls to deck her bow'rs.

Let the joyous heart then sing,
Of the hopeful, happy Spring,
Whisp'ring leaves and rippling foun­tains,
Valleys green and soaring mountains

'Neath the vernal transport waking,
Into songs of joy are breaking,
Shout for joy then beauteous earth,
Sing with man the glad new birth.
