When Franz Schubert wrote this song, he was 25 years old, and experiencing the onset of the illnesses that would bring his life to its end in six short years. Maybe it’s not surprising that he chose to set a text that speaks of the beauty of spring’s blooming, but also warns of the season's inevitable yielding to decay and frost - a reminder of the fragile and ephemeral nature of beauty in this world.
"The world grows fairer each day;
We cannot know what is still to come;
The flowering knows no end.
The deepest, most distant valley is in flower.
Now, poor heart, forget your torment.
Now all must change."
