Zephyrs soft their fragrance
Round my pathway fling!
Ah, what deep desiring
Wafts to me the spring!
Heart, why wildly beating?
Greet’st thou not the spring?
Cease thy sad repeating,—
“Peace it will not bring.”
Zephyrs soft their fragrance
Round my pathway fling!
Ah! what deep desiring
Wafts to me the spring!

Peace from pain and sorrow,
Peace from love and hate,
Peace from vain repinings
That upon thee wait,—
These from off thy spirit
Never shalt thou fling;
Yet, O heart! forget them
In the smile of spring.
Zephyrs soft their fragrance
Round my pathway fling!
Ah! what deep desiring
Wafts to me the spring!
