Primula Veris

I

Sweet flower,

you are so early

already come back?

I greet you,

Primula veris!

Softly because

the other meadow flowers

still doze on,

sweet flower,

Primula veris!

You only

have beckoned

the first mild whispering

of awakening spring,

Primula veris!

My heart also

blooms earlier,

more beautiful than

all flowers is Love,

Primula veris!
