Original text and translations

English text

Spring returns, and earth is smiling,
Green again is ev'ry tree;
Flow'rets spangle, eye beguiling,
Birds are singing cheerfully.
Thyrsis, why art thou despairing?
Love doth now the world pervade;
Bolder grown is ev'ry shepherd,
Kinder ev'ry village maid.
