Grüner wird die Au, D.199 by Franz Schubert — Lyrics
Grüner wird die Au,
und der Himmel blau;
Schwalben kehren wieder
und die Erstlingslieder
kleiner Vögelein
zwitschern durch den Hain.
Aus dem Blütenstrauch
weht der Liebe Hauch:
Seit der Lenz erschienen,
waltet sie im Grünen,
malt die Blumen bunt,
rot des Mädchens Mund.

About Grüner wird die Au, D.199
This cheerful German partsong by Schubert captures the reawakening of nature in spring. The lyrics describe the greening meadows, returning swallows, and the songs of little birds. The scent of love is in the air, painting the flowers and the maiden's lips. The text then playfully urges the singers to embrace life and love, likening them to nesting doves. Scored for two-part female or boys' voices (SA), this secular song is ideal for a light-hearted moment in a concert or festival programme, celebrating the joy and romance of the season. Its simple, tuneful melody and charming imagery make it an accessible and engaging piece.
