Frühlingsgruß, Op. 19a, No. 5 by Felix Mendelssohn — Lyrics
1. Leise zieht durch mein Gemüt
liebliches Geläute;
klinge, kleines Frühlingslied,
kling' hinaus in's Weite!
2. Zieh' hinaus bis an das Haus,
wo die Veilchen sprießen;
wenn du eine Rose schaust,
sag, ich lass sie grüßen!
3. Sprich zum Vöglein, das da singt
auf dem schwanken Zweige,
und zum Bächlein, das da klingt,
dass mir keines schweige!
4. Schalle Lied, wo’s grünt und blüht,
hold im Abenscheine,
wieg' in süßen Schlummer dann,
Röschen, das ich meine!

About Frühlingsgruß, Op. 19a, No. 5
Felix Mendelssohn's Frühlingsgruß, Op. 19a, No. 5, is a delightful example of the German Lied tradition. Composed for solo voice, this intimate song captures the essence of spring's arrival. The German text, by Theodor Apel, evokes the gentle sounds and sights of the season, from distant bells and blossoming flowers to singing birds and flowing streams. The music reflects this imagery, with a lyrical and flowing melody that perfectly conveys the tender sentiment of the lyrics. It is a charming piece for a singer looking to explore the Romantic art song repertoire.
