Early spring
Robert Kahn
Days of joy,
Have you come so soon?
To give me the sun,
Hill and Forest?
Amply flow
the brooklets again,
Are those meadows?
Is this a valley?
Blue freshness!
Heaven and heights!
Golden fishes
Teeming in the sea.
Colorful plumage
Rustles in the grove,
Heavenly songs
Resound therein!
Under the greenery's
Blooming, thriving effort
The little bees dine,
Humming, on nectar.
Gentle movements
shake in the fresh air,
the lovely stirring
Of sleepy fragrance.
Powerfully stirs
a breath of air,
Yet it loses
itself in a bush.
But to the bosom
It turns back,
Help me, o Muses,
To bear this Happiness!
Tell me how, since yesterday,
it happened to me,
lovely sisters -
My sweetheart is there!
