Happy are the lovers

Now speaks the earth of spring and all its joys.

Now flowers and blossom sooth our eyes.

So happy are the lovers,girls and boys,

As in the fresh green meadows they may lie.

Now speaks the sun and orders us to grow

to open like the flowers to receive love

To let the life within us start to flow.

From blessing rained down on us from above.

Now evert part of nature is in flood

Fresh leaves point down from trees to little nests

The birds are active in this tiny wood

And dwelling on the tree branch breast to breast.

Oh let’s not waste time brooding on black thoughts.

For we may miss the joy which spring has brought
