Primula Veris
Conrad Wothe
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!
