HERE ees com' da time of year
Best of all!
Lika trumpet een my ear
Ees eets call.
Lika trumpet far away
First I hear eet yestaday
W'en a weend dat's sailed da sea
Com' along dees street to me
And eet touch my hair an' say:
"I am here!"

Now ees com' da time of year
I should seeng;
Far Italian scenes so near
Eet can breeng.
Home, een March-month, I could go
Where ees steell da mountain snow
Findin' on da sunny side
Of som' feeg-tree, where dey hide,
Violets dat cry: "Hallo!
We are here!"

Here ees com' dat time of year;
But no note
Of da song dat once was dear
Feells my throat.
Ah! eef only now, to-day,
She dat's verra far away --
Farther dan Italian shore --
Comin' weeth da Spreeng once more,
Joost could touch my hand an' say:
"I am here!"
