Snowdrops
Wilhelm Baumgartner
The snow, that just yesterday was falling in flakes
From the sky,
Today hangs now, congealed, like bells
From a tender stem.
The snowdrop bell tolls - what does it mean
In the silent grove?
O come quickly! In the grove, it tolls
For Spring.
O come, you leaves, blossoms and flowers,
You who are still dreaming -
Come to Spring's sanctuary!
Come at once!
