Erstes Grün, Op. 35, No. 4 by Robert Schumann — Lyrics
Du junges Grün, du frisches Gras,
wie manches Herz durch dich genas,
das von des Winters Schnee erkrankt,
o wie mein Herz nach dir verlangt!
Schon wächst du aus der Erde Nacht,
wie dir mein Aug’ entgegen lacht!

About Erstes Grün, Op. 35, No. 4
Robert Schumann's Lieder tradition brought German art song to new heights of emotional intensity and poetic expression. This solo song, Erstes Grün, Op. 35, No. 4, exemplifies his intimate connection with nature and the human heart. The German text celebrates the arrival of spring and the rejuvenating power of nature after a long winter. The singer expresses a deep longing for this renewal, finding solace and peace in the 'young green' that lifts the spirit when human words fail. It is a poignant exploration of nature's healing capacity, set with Schumann's characteristic melodic grace and harmonic depth.
