Ich muß hinaus, ich muß zu Dir, Ich muß es selbst Dir sagen: Du bist mein Frühling, Du [nur mir]1 In diesen lichten Tagen. Ich will die [Rosen]2 nicht mehr sehn, Nicht mehr die grünen Matten; Ich will nicht mehr zu Walde gehn [Nach Duft und]3 Klang und Schatten. Ich will nicht mehr der Lüfte Zug, Nicht mehr der Wellen Rauschen, Ich will nicht mehr der Vögel Flug Und [ihrem Liede]4 lauschen. -- Ich [will]5 hinaus, ich [will]5 zu Dir, Ich will es selbst Dir sagen: Du bist mein Frühling, Du [nur mir]1 In diesen lichten Tagen!

I must get out, I must get to you, I must tell it to you myself: You are my Spring, only you In these bright days. I no longer wish to see the roses nor the green meadow; I no longer to want to go to the forest for its scents and sounds and shadows. I no longer want the blowing air, nor the rushing waves, I no longer want to listen to the birds and their songs. I want to get out, I want to get to you, I want to tell it to you myself: You are my Spring, only you in these bright days.
