Our translations: ENG
Rausche, rausche, froher Bach, Küsse die Blumen am Ufer wach! O wie werden sie dir's danken, Hold zu dir [sie niederschwanken]1, Und [in]2 deinen Wellen licht Lachend spiegeln ihr Angesicht! Horch, o horch, mit lautem Ton [Grüßet]3 dich freudig die Amsel schon, Schau, wie ist's an deinen Borden Überall schon grün geworden, Gelt, nun [läßt's dir's]4 keine Ruh, Frischer, muntrer Geselle du! Ach! wie freuen Busch und Baum Sich auf den wonnigen Sommertraum, O wie werden sie sich neigen Froh zu dir mit ihren Zweigen, Erlen, Weiden allzumal In dem lustigen Wiesenthal! Rausche, rausche, froher Bach, Bald ist der schlummernde Frühling wach! Rasch auf deinen [schönen]5 Wegen Zieh dem Lieblichen entgegen, Bis im Maien, dankerfreut, Ganz mit Blüthen er dich bestreut!
H. Schläger sets stanzas 1-2, 4

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "überall" becomes "Ueberall", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography; since the lower-case version is not "ueberall we use "Überall".
