Frühlingsfreude by Carl Gottlieb Reissiger — Lyrics
1. Ja, wär's nicht jetzo Frühling just,
wir würden ihn gleich machen,
wir sind so voll von Freud' und Lust,
so voll von Scherz und Lachen;
wohin wir wandeln grünt es gleich,
da laubt der Ast, da blüht der Zweig,
und Rebenäuglein öffnen sich
wie Mädchenaugen minniglich,
und Rosenknospen purpurrot erglänzen,
als Mädchenlippen Küsse zu kredenzen.

About Frühlingsfreude
Carl Gottlieb Reissiger’s Frühlingsfreude is a secular SATB part-song in German, celebrating the joy and exuberance of spring. The text personifies spring, likening the blossoming of nature to the opening of young eyes and blushing lips. It then shifts to a spiritual theme, attributing this newfound happiness not just to the season but to the 'spirit of love,' which imbues life with hope and delight. The music would suit a springtime concert or a gathering where lighthearted festivity is the order of the day, evoking the freshness of nature and the blossoming of the heart.
