by Neidhart von Reuental (c1180 - c1240)

Nun will der Lenz uns grüßen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun will der Lenz uns grüßen,
Von Mittag weht es lau,
Aus allen Wiesen sprießen
Die Blumen rot und blau.
Draus wob die braune Heide
Sich ein Gewand gar fein
Und lädt im Festtagskleide
Zum Maientanze ein.

Waldvöglein Lieder singen,
Wie ihr sie nur begehrt,
Drum auf zum frohen Springen,
Die Reis’ ist Goldes wert!
Hei, unter grünen Linden,
Da leuchten weiße Kleid’!
Heißa, nun hat uns Kinden
Ein End all Wintersleid!
