Love's Spring

Franz von Holstein

I saw the Spring once

blossoming in the loveliest valley;

I saw the light of live

in the most beautiful face.

And when I walk alone now

through the grove in Spring,

in every bush

her face appears to me too.

And when I see her in a place

that Spring has long since abandoned,

then a new Spring sprouts and praises resoundingly

her sweet form.
