An der Frühling, D338 by Franz Schubert — Lyrics
Willkommen schöner Jüngling!
Du Wonne der Natur!
Mit deinem Blumenkörbchen
Willkommen auf der Flur!
Ei! Ei! Da bist du wieder!
Und bist so lieb und schön!
Und freun wir uns so herzlich,
Entgegen dir zu gehn.
Denkst auch noch an mein Mädchen?
Ei, lieber, denke doch!

About An der Frühling, D338
Franz Schubert's An der Frühling, D338, is a delightful TTBB setting of a German secular poem. The text welcomes spring, personified as a charming youth bearing a basket of flowers. It speaks of the joy and beauty of nature's awakening, and the pleasure of greeting this renewal. The poet recalls a beloved maiden who once loved him and still does, and asks the spirit of spring to provide flowers for her, as he has done before. This song is a celebration of the season's arrival and the romantic affections it inspires, a perfect choice for a choir seeking a piece that blends natural imagery with heartfelt sentiment.
