On the arrival of spring
The earth is harnessed with new decorations.
The living world is filled
With the sweet flow of love and beauty.

O creator, please come before of me,
With opened eyes and smiling sweetly.
In Your fascinating garb, see fit to tarry;
Mid the world, let me embrace Thee.

You only know Your divine play.
O Lord of lords, You are the embodiment of love and affection.
But why do You make my heart cry out for You?
O shameless one, please come into my shy heart.
