Grüner Frühling, süße Mailuft,
warum seid ihr gar so öde?
Tulpen ihr und blaue Winden,
warum glänzt ihr gar so blöde?
Vöglein, und du grämst dich heimlich,
Vöglein in der Linden!

Green Spring, sweet May air
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Green Spring, sweet May air,
Why are you so dreary?
You tulips and blue morning glories,
Why do you glitter so feebly?
And, little bird, you fret so furtively,
Little bird in the linden tree!
