O sanfter, süsser Hauch!
Schon weckest du wieder
Mir Frühlingslieder,
Bald blühen die Veilchen auch.
O sanfter, süsser Hauch!

English Translation - The First Day of Spring
O gentle, sweet breeze!
Already you waken in me my spring-song's.
Soon the violets will also bloom
O gentle, sweet breeze!

The version of 'Der Erste Frühlingstag' / 'The First day of spring' is from the Vinyl LP Album "Choral Songs of the Romantic Era".

I greatly enjoyed this album of the German romantic poetry of Ludwig Uhland, Geothe, Platen and many others, set as acappella choral songs by the composers Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Carl Loewe, Johannes Brahms, Friedrich Silcher & Robert Schumann
